Join Bard in Brevard for “Shakespeare Unpacked: Twelfth Night” —an interactive pre-show workshop where community members can step inside the world of the non-profit theater organization’s upcoming June production.
Participants will learn about the local history connection behind a 1950s Brevard-inspired production, meet cast members and members of the creative team, observe rehearsal in action and have a chance to try a scene alongside the players.
Whether you’re a longtime Shakespeare fan or completely new to the Bard, this workshop is designed to be welcoming, engaging, and fun for all experience levels.
This free workshop will be held Friday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the Outdoor Leadership & Experiential Education building (better known as the OLEE buidling) on the Brevard College campus. Full productions of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” will be held June 19–28 on the Dunham Hall Porch at the college
