2016 Shakespeare Festival

The fifth annual Long Island Student Shakespeare Festival took place on April 29, 2016. It was the first time the Festival was at Five Towns College. 180 students from a number of schools presented excerpts from The Tempest, Henry IV Part 1, Measure for Measure, Macbeth, The Taming of the Shrew, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and other plays. The guest artist was Ray Jacildo from Toronto, Canada. Students from Five Towns College performed music from As You Like It (composed by Dr. Ed Green) and scenes from Romeo and Juliet.
