2015 Shakespeare Festival

The fourth Long Island Student Shakespeare Festival took place on April 30, 2015.  The guest artist was Emily Davis, founder of the Messenger Theatre Company.  Students performed excerpts from Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Henry VIII, Much Ado About Nothing, and Troilus and Cressida.  The musical selection was a performance of Richard Dering’s The City Cries.
