Shakespeare & Company will present four days of performances, the culmination of its Fall Festival of Shakespeare, beginning November 19 at the Tina Packer Playhouse.
An annual tradition, the event is the culmination of a program that places Shakespeare & Company Education Artists in 10 local and regional schools, where they lead students in a nine-week exploration of Shakespeare’s plays. Following those nine weeks of training, hundreds of teenagers will take to the stage to present the product of weeks of work in tech, costumes, lighting and sound design, sets and props, sword fights and dances, scene rehearsals, research, and character development.
The 10 schools participating in the 2015 Fall Festival of Shakespeare include Berkshire Waldorf High School, Chatham High School (New York), Lee High School, Lenox Memorial High School, Monument Mountain Regional High School, Mount Everett Regional High School, Mount Greylock Regional High School, Springfield Central High School, Taconic High School, and Taconic Hills High School (New York).
