Now in its third year, the Youth Shakespeare Festival features students from Academy of Technology and the Classics, Capital High, Eldorado Community School, Mandela International School, McCurdy Charter School, New Mexico School for the Arts, Santa Fe High, Santa Fe Indian School, Santa Fe Prep, and the Upstart Crows of Santa Fe.

In times of duress, theatre can be many things - cathartic, comforting, inspiring - and the very timely production of The Revolutionists by Lauren Gunderson (the most produced contemporary playwright in America) at The Adobe Rose Theatre succeeds in being all of those things, as well as being both a riotous and moving evening of theatre.

The International Shakespeare Center (ISC) presents Shakespeare's King Lear September 14 through 30 (Fridays and Saturdays, 7 p.m.; Sunday 2 p.m. matinee) at the Adobe Rose Theatre, 1213 Parkway Drive, Santa Fe.

Eleven young Shakespeareans, 10-19, will be taking multiple roles in a performance of scenes from Shakespeare's English History Plays.

Three casts of actors, ages 10-18 perform William Shakespeare's Macbeth, January 19-28 at El Museo Cultural, 555 Camino de la Familia, in the Santa Fe Railyard. Directed by Caryl Farkas, with fight direction by Ambrose Ferber.
