Shakespeare Through a Disability Lens:
Curated scenes and monologues from the Bard’s viewpoint
Dramaturgy by Michelle Koza
Directed by Barbara Guertin
December 26 & 27 at 7pm
December 28 at 3pm - This performance includes ASL interpretation.
Dramaturg Michelle Koza and Director Barbara Guertin have curated scenes from four of Shakespeare’s plays where people with disabilities play a major role in character development and plot lines. You may recognize poignant lines from Richard III or The Tempest but may be shocked at the relentless coarseness and brutality of Julius Caesar or Titus Andronicus. This project includes collaboration with actors and technicians with disabilities - both visible and invisible.
Performances are at the Fletcher Auditorium, Museum of Worcester, 30 Elm Street, Worcester, MA 01609
Free parking and Handicap Accessible.

Worcester’s own Dr. Robert Goddard – the man who invented Rocket Science – was a relentless inventor and researcher who through his teaching and relentless experimentation, created the first successful launch of a rocket here in March of 1926. The musical follows his life and his love – Esther, who continued to fight for his well-deserved patents well after his passing. Worcester’s own Stephen Murray has turned their love story into a charming must be seen musical - a world premiere!
