Shortly after a performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet, middle and high school students from around the area participate in a talkback session with the play's cast. The event, which took place in Dixon Hall on the Tulane University uptown campus, is part of the Performance for the Schools program by the New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane. As many as 5,000 students participate in the program, which is held over several days in January each year. 

Students from Sacred Heart Academy take advantage of the opportunity to talk with actress Ashley Nolan, who portrayed Gertrude, Hamlet's mother.
