Healthy Acadia and Barn Arts offer Free Theatre Workshops at Local Libraries

Witches in the Wild, a new workshop created by local theater-maker and educator Andrew Simon, will be offered to any interested young people on May 14th at the Southwest Harbor Public Library. The workshop invites participants to discover the characters, themes, and events of Shakespeare’s supernatural tragedy, Macbeth. 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.

This programming expands on work from Healthy Acadia that builds resilience and focuses on social-emotional learning through mindfulness, presence, and thoughtful discussion, while strengthening connections by being creative and courageous together.

The workshop is free of charge and designed for students in grades 4-8. It will run for an hour from 3:30pm-4:30pm. Due to limited space, please register ONLY for your child. Parents and guardians are welcome to make use of the library or come back to pick their child up.
