'Witches in the Wind' Shakespeare Workshop (grades 4-8)

  • Jesup Memorial Library 34 Mt. Desert Street Bar Harbor, Maine 04609 USA (map)

Witches in the Wild is a new theatre workshop created by Andrew Simon for Healthy Acadia and Barn Arts that dives into the characters, themes, and events of Shakespeare’s supernatural tragedy Macbeth. The workshop will be offered to young people in grades 4-8 on April 16th from 3:30pm - 4:30pm. Participants will work together to discover Shakespeare’s language and practice ensemble theatre-making techniques that will bring the opening scene of the play to life

Witches in the Wild is offered ahead of rehearsals for a production of Macbeth in the Middle School Shakespeare Project, a program now in its 4th year that brings together students from across Hancock county to collaborate on a new show. Both the workshop and the production are open to any young people interested in working creatively together.
