Macbeth By The Shakespeare Project
Northeast Alabama students will again be
studying Shakespeare as it was intend-
ed, hearing and seeing the Bard’s work
through live professional productions, fea-
turing actors from across the U.S. Admis-
sion to these performances is completely
free thanks to donors and grants, making
the arts accessible to everyone.
August 14 through 18, the Shakespeare
Project will be presenting performances
of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth for our
schools and communities at the Anniston
Performing Arts Center. All performances
are abridged to 90 minutes, with this trag-
edy full of supernatural, foul fun, mystery
and murder, adapted and directed by Car-
rie Colton.
Macbeth is often selected reading for high
schoolers in Alabama, so intent of these
performances is to enhance studies and
make elevated art accessible to all. Last
year, we reached more than 2,000 stu-
dents and 700 community patrons with
our production of Julius
Caesar , and this year we hope to reach
even more.

in Anniston, Alabama at the original home of
the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. The Shake-
speare Project’s mission is to provide free acces-
sible professional Shakespeare to all, regard-
less of race, gender, or socio-economic status,
under t he belief that art is a human right. All
performances are free to the general public and
schools.

Third Thursday
in the Gardens: Sun Prints
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Longleaf Botanical Gardens
Have fun in the sun and nature while mak-
ing organic prints using sun exposure. Us-
ing the sun as the main form of exposure,
any organic material can be used for cya-
notrype printmaking. Various plant mate-
rial will be arranged on treated paper and
exposed to the sun. Depending on the
variety and balance of the materials on the
paper, the sun will burn white shadows
into the print. Sun prints capture delicate
aspects of nature’s biological material
such as veins, shapes, and transiency. This
program is $5 for non-members and free
