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.
In 2008 we produced Othello set in Russian
America in the 1850's. 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
offerred workshops and school performances. Let
us know if you would be interested in having
Shakespeare visit your community.
