Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, CALIFORNIA SHAKESPEARE THEATER will engage at least 1,500 students (with 60% from Title One schools) through four matinee performances of MACBETH at our outdoor Bruns Amphitheater. Student Discovery field trips will include pre-show activities and post-show Q&As with the actors for an immersive theater experience and understanding of Shakespeare’s famous cautionary tale of unbridled ambition.
Organization Summary
Cal Shakes brings together people from all walks of life to connect with our shared humanity through its work onstage, in schools, and in community. Our Main Stage season runs May – October at the outdoor, solar-powered Bruns Amphitheater. Artistic Learning programs engage young people through Student Discovery matinees at our Theater, our summer Conservatories, and theater-based artist-led residencies in classrooms. Artistic Engagement programs are developed in partnership with people from a wide range of communities to expand opportunity for the artist in everyone, claim and tell our own narratives through theater-based activities, and spark intersectional conversation around the plays on our stage.
