Enhancing the MAC’s exhibit, the Knighthorse Theatre Company will be in residence at Isaac E. Young Middle School on April 7^th and at New Rochelle High School on April May 8^th , conducting workshops for students. Knighthorse will offer two public performances of “Shakespeare On Demand,” an interactive event during which audience members choose which plays they want to see, and the actors perform scenes from those plays. (With two actors and 38 plays, each performance is unique because the audience selects what they want to see.) “Shakespeare On Demand” will be performed Friday evening April 8^th at 7:30 pm and Saturday evening April 9^th at 7:30 pm in the Linda Kelly Theatre at NRHS. Tickets cost $5 for adults, $3 for students and seniors, with all proceeds benefiting the Museum of Arts & Culture. Visit www.dbmac.org for details.
