Burning Coal Education Goes INTO THE WOODS This Month

Burning Coal's WillPower! education outreach program has an exciting month in February, with residencies and workshops at five area schools, and the culmination of a long-term residency at Raleigh Charter High School with their production of INTO THE WOODS.

This month, Director of Education Ian Finley will teach multi-day residencies at Brier Creek Elementary, St. Mary Magdelene Middle School and Apex High (residencies supported by grants from the United Arts Council of Wake County). These in-class residencies will cover a broad range of topics, from Shakespeare at Brier Creek, to musical theatre at St. Mary Magdelene and playwriting at Apex. Single-day Shakespeare workshops will also be performed throughout the month at Raleigh Charter High School and Cary Academy.

In addition, Mr. Finley will serve as Musical Director for Raleigh Charter's production of INTO THE WOODS, as part of a musical theatre residency that began in January. The production will take place at Burning Coal Theatre at the Murphey School (224 Polk St., Raleigh) through February 19th.
