Edgeware Wins National Grant
For the second time Edgeware, in cooperation with
Cyrano's Theatre Company, was the recipient of a
grant from the National Endowment for the Arts
Shakespeare for a New Generation. You'll
remember our raucous A Midsummer Night's
Dream, which toured Southcentral Alaska in 2005.
This time around we'll produce Othello set in
Russian America in the 1850's. In February 2008
we ran for four weeks at Cyrano's in downtown
Anchorage and then "hit the road" to tour Othello to
communities in Southcentral. Of course, attendant
to our tour, we'll offer of menu of workshops and
the school performances described above. We've
applied again for the 2011 Grant. Let us know if
you would be interested in having Shakespeare
visit your community.
