GREENSBORO – Peter Gould’s youth Shakespeare camp, Get Thee to the Funnery, is back for its 28th summer, and will finish with two live public performances on Friday, Aug. 8 and Saturday, Aug. 9.
This year’s camp is happening again under the big white tent and in the theater at Greensboro’s Highland Center for the Arts (HCA).
“Thanks to Keisha Luce and her whole HCA staff,” Gould says, “for hosting a bunch of 30 high-energy teens on the stage, in the seats, in the lobby, on the lawn, around the corner and under the tent.”
This year’s play is “The Scottish Play,” or “Macbeth,” as it’s sometimes called. Performances are free (donations accepted) and accessible. The first one will be this Friday, August 8, at 6 p.m., under the tent at HCA. The second one will be on Saturday, Aug. 9, at 2 p.m., at Craftsbury Common, as the final act of the traditional Home Day celebration. The Funnery performance will be presented outside of Simpson Hall next to the Common.
