Greenwood Little Theatre of Greenwood, Mississippi has been awarded a $4,400 grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC).

Greenwood Shakespeare Project Director Steve Iwanski says the fourth annual summer program’s returning participants are “the Delta’s experts on Shakespeare performance.”

This summer, the Greenwood Shakespeare Project will once again collaborate with ArtPlace Mississippi and Greenwood Little Theatre to present the Fourth Annual Shakespeare Summer Camp for youth. 

“They call themselves the Shakespeare family,” said Steve Iwanski, who leads the Greenwood Shakespeare Project.

There’s still time to apply and audition for this summer’s Shakespeare Summer Camp.

For many members of the Greenwood Shakespeare Project, participating is about more than learning neat new skills, such as sewing, carpentry or painting, or learning more about a poet and playwright largely considered the greatest writer in the English language. 

The Shakespeare Boot Camp, led by Steve Iwanski of the Greenwood Shakespeare Project, is a five-week program for youth.
