Shakespeare’s Will
November 8 – December 1
By Vern Thiessen
Directed by Melanie Dreyer
Starring Sheila McKenna
Original music performed by Dawn Posey
William Shakespeare remained married until his death to Anne Hathaway, about whom the world knows little and wonders much. This contemporary play imagines a full-throated Anne in every emotional color imaginable, at the center of her own story instead of relegated to a footnote in Will’s; a robust exploration of feminist themes resonant even in the #MeToo present.
Shakespeare’s Will offers a tour de force for an actress, in this case Sheila McKenna, cherished staple of Pittsburgh theatre. It’s scored with original music played live by violinist Dawn Posey. The performance inhabits West Homestead United Methodist Church, a Pittsburgh treasure hiding in plain sight, unveiling the poetic space of her memory enhanced by the mastery of designers Stephanie Mayer-Staley, Joe Seamans, C. Todd Brown, Steve Shapiro, and Bonnie Siefers.
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 PM, and Sundays at 7 PM. No performance Thanksgiving Nov. 28; there IS a performance Tuesday the 19th and Tuesday the 26th at 8PM.
Special Performances:
Pay What You Can Night on Wednesday, November 6th
Community Night on Thursday, November 7th, with free tickets for Homestead residents
Opening/Press Night on Friday, November 8th, with a post-show champagne reception.
Post-Show Q&A on Sunday, November 10th, Q&A session with the cast and team.

We currently have a worldwide epidemic of stress and anxiety that is stifling our happiness, creativity and intimacy. Max Strom will reveal his core principles of breathing and movement patterns to alleviate anxiety, PTSD, depression and sleep disorder based on his two decades of teaching and his in-depth knowledge of Hatha Yoga and QI Gong. Born with severe clubbed feet, Max Strom spent much of the first six years of his life with his feet confined in plaster casts and braces. Today, he is known for inspiring and impacting the lives of people from all walks of life, teaching breathing patterns and personal transformation worldwide. His TEDx talk, Breathe to Heal, is approaching one million views on Youtube. Many know him for his two inspiring books: There is No APP for Happiness, addressing the challenge of finding meaning in the digital age, and A Life Worth Breathing, published in five languages and used as required reading in many yoga trainings.
