MONTGOMERY W.Va. (WVDN) — Students from the Davis Stuart school in Lewisburg will attend Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” at Greenbrier Valley Theatre later this month, and they may watch the actors more closely than most. So says Beach Vickers, founding artistic director of the Shakespeare Studio that arranged for them to attend a student matinee.

Vickers and three other volunteers from the Montgomery-based theater group led the school’s eighth through twelfth graders in seven workshops in July about how to perform Shakespeare’s works themselves, according to Vickers.

“We introduced the students to theater basics like vocal projection and enunciation, mime, mask-making, and even appreciation of Shakespeare’s rhythm and rhymes by reciting a sonnet of his like a rap,” he added.
