Three weeks of intensive Heartwood Summer Camp training with Griff Braley and Teralyn Reiter will culminate in a devised performance of "The Epic of Beowulf" in the air-conditioned Poe Theater at Lincoln Academy, 81 Academy Hill Road in Newcastle, Thursday and Friday, July 17 and 18 at 7 p.m. 

Of the cast, Director/Instructor Braley notes, “We’re very proud of this strong group of dedicated students, and we have been exceedingly pleased with their work ethic, desire to learn, and willingness to delve into new knowledge and practices. Students have joyfully delved into mask making and performance, stage movement and choreography, combat, ensemble work, and of course, managing the challenging voice of this Anglo-Saxon classic!”

No reservations needed, general admission - $5/students and $10/adults. Doors will open for general seating at 6:30 p.m. To request easy access or close seating or such, email info@heartwoodtheater.org or phone 563-1373.
