Burning Coal continues its acclaimed WillPower! education outreach program this month, bringing hands-on experience with Shakespeare into area schools. Actors from the company will visit Leesville Elementary this month to perform Shakescenes, an interactive staging of selections from Shakespeare's plays, tailored to an elementary-age audience. Director of Education Ian Finley will also teach a week-long residency with the entire 3rd grade at Conn Elementary. This in-class residency will introduce Shakespeare to young students in a way that is fast, fun, and active, so that when they encounter the Bard later in their school career they approach the text knowing how much fun it can be.
