Since HCH was preparing to do Guys and Dolls in the spring of 2007, we wanted to do something a little easier for the winter production. The result was the Seven Ages of Man, a series of one-acts, adaptations and scenes - as well as a video presentation! - that followed the life of a man as set out by William Shakespeare in the famous speech of the same name from As You Like It.
Scenes were drawn from the following:
