2015 marks the tenth annual production of CPS Shakespeare! with seventeen students, six teachers, and seven CPS high schools participating in this year’s ensemble. After well over one hundred hours of rehearsal with guest director Matt Hawkins, alongside members of CST’s Education team, and with assistant director and CPS English teacher Sandra Shimon, our CPS Shakespeare! Macbeth ensemble will stage its unique and personal vision of Shakespeare’s story. Each performance is immediately followed by talkbacks with the cast.
Students share about building an ensemble, connecting to Shakespeare’s story and finding their own voice.
