Bard to Go: To Thine Own Self Be True
The touring production Bard to Go returns with a new production Bard to Go: To Thine Own Self Be True. Like many modern teens, Shakespeare's characters are often striving to discover and define their sense of self. Bard to Go: To Thine Own Self Be True explores the ways in which Shakespearean characters gain independence, build their individual identities, and find their places in the world. Bard to Go is a 50-minute program of scenes from multiple Shakespearean plays, and includes narration that will give your students context to the scenes and characters.
Bard to Go will tour to West Michigan area schools October 11, 18, 25, and November 1.
- Special Free Public Performance October 26 at 2PM. Linn Maxwell Keller Black Box Theatre, Thomas J. and Marcia J. Haas Center for the Performing Arts, Allendale Campus.
