WHY ARE WE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT SHAKESPEARE?

Some people might think a 400-year-old playwright has little to say to 21st Century Cumberland County, but our work with high school students has taught us otherwise. Though this unique, Shakespeare-focused theater arts program has been thriving at Carlisle High School for close to forty years, we felt it was long past time to extend the drama, passion, wisdom, and fun (yes, FUN!) of the works of William Shakespeare into our local Carlisle, PA community.

SHAKESPEARE PAGE TO STAGE is a collaborative, performance-based theater arts education program designed and founded by our tireless director, Sue Biondo-Hench, to shine Shakespeare’s light upon a weary world, with clarity, accessibility, inclusivity, creativity, innovation, and joy, with a fresh perspective on his timeless tales. Let the dialogue begin!
