Shakespeare Workshops with Aquila Theatre

In an ongoing commitment to arts in education for all students in Western North Carolina, even during a pandemic, Wortham Center for the Performing Arts is offering virtual programs at no cost through Wortham’s Youth Education Scholarship Fund with additional support from the Asheville Area Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, Arts Midwest and Shakespeare in American Communities. Space is limited.

For workshop scheduling and reservations contact Jared McEntire at 828-257-4512 or jared@worthamarts.org.

Student and teacher favorite Aquila Theatre Company offers two Shakespeare workshops for students

Aquila teaching artists will work with teachers to help aid their Shakespeare teaching unit and fit within the time frame of a single class. The tools shared will offer an approach to reading Shakespeare that can carry over into the rest of the unit as students explore this timeless tale with their teachers.

Decoding Shakespeare

Grades 9-12

Students will learn techniques to read Macbeth as it was intended to be read and understood for the stage and uncover Shakespeare’s directional clues embedded in the text.

Macbeth In a Minute

Grades 5-8

An interactive workshop where students will work as a group to break down the story of Macbeth into its essential story blocks and perform the story online in under a minute!
