Out 2022 Festival featured fewer schools but many students.

After the shutdown we found we were unable to provide in-school programming to most of our partner schools. Some no longer could support after-school programs, others didn’t have sufficient faculty to act as liaisons. So we pivoted!

We started a Saturday afternoon Shakes Club for individual students who were interested in participating in the Festival and the turn out was impressive.

In addition we found a new partner - the May Center for Learning - who welcomed us weekly during the fall semester to run a class on Macbeth.

The 2022 Festival became a show of scenes from Macbeth, with students from the May Center and our Saturday group working on scenes and then coming together to perform them at the Santa Fe Playhouse in April 2022.
