After the last couple of years of Covid-related disruption, we are incredibly excited to have CAST return to the Academy!
On September 18th, the Cambridge American Stage Tour (CAST) will be arriving at Harrisburg Academy for a day of workshops and a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Founded in 1999 under the tutelage of Dame Judy Dench, CAST travels the east coast of the United States with the aim of producing an annual Shakespearian tour with a small group of Cambridge University's most talented actors and technicians. CAST also provides the opportunity for American students and young people to participate in workshops, as a way of introducing them to Shakespeare or building on the knowledge they already have.
For those in the Harrisburg Academy community who remember the pre-COVID days, CAST arriving was a wonderful and exciting time, and now they have regrouped from the pandemic and are back! We will have a production of Romeo & Juliet in our own auditorium at 7:30 on September 19th, so mark your calendar for a memorable dramatic experience. Also, if there is anyone in the community with a spare bedroom or two, please consider hosting a pair of university students the nights of the 18th and 19th. More information to follow.
