BERLIN The Brown Box Thea-
tre Project's 3rd Annual Free
Shakespeare at the Beach tour will
wind its way around Delmarva in
September, stopping to perform A
Midsummer Night's Dream for area
schools and local communities.
Shakespeare at the Beach is the
flagship production of Brown Box
Theatre Project, a non-profit theater
collaborative founded in 2010 by
Eastern Shore native Kyler Taustin
with the goal of enlivening the re-
gion's theater scene by bringing the
performing arts to audiences who
ordinarily lack access to live theatre.
"We are thrilled to be expanding
to so many new communities this
year," said Taustin, who serves as
the show's director. "Midsummer is
Shakespeare's most beloved come-
dy, and I'm confident that it will en-
tertain and inspire audiences of all
ages."
Brown Box will also visit five Wor-
cester and Wicomico county schools
where students will be introduced to
Shakespeare's most beloved comedy
the way it was meant to be experi-
enced as live theater.
Following the school performanc-
es, Brown Box will hold workshops
with students to supplement the
show and give them the opportunity
to explore the text.
This year, Brown Box will also be
holding three public workshops for
youth and adults. For more informa-
tion, visit www.BrownBoxTheatre.-
org.
The tour's expansion is made
possible in part by grants from the
Community Foundation of the East-
ern Shore, Worcester County Arts
Council, Salisbury Wicomico Arts
Council, Talbot County Arts Council
and Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation.
"We're extremely grateful for the
support of all our grantors," said
Taustin. "It's wonderful to have part-
ners in our mission to promote the
area art scene."
