SUNY Jamestown Community College is hosting a college transfer fair from noon-1:30 p.m. March 4 in the Cattaraugus County Campus Student Union.

The last two theatrical productions at SUNY Jamestown Community College have had a Shakespearean flavor, and the spring performance will continue the JCC Uncommoners love affair with the iconic playwright. 

The college’s theatrical group presents “Hamlet” at 7:30 p.m. March 14, 15, and 16, with a 2:30 p.m. performance also on March 16. The production will be performed in a black box format, so seating is limited to 100 per show. 

The spring semester at SUNY Jamestown Community College is underway on the college’s physical campuses, and at Collins Correctional Facility.

Now in its third semester, the program has seen growth in the number of incarcerated individuals participating, courses being offered, and instructors ready to provide them.
