EQUINUNK, PA — The Equinunk Historical Society will host NACL Theatre’s Tannis Kowalchuk in “Shakespeare’s Will,” a play by award-winning Canadian playwright Vern Thiessen on Sunday, February 21 at 2 p.m. in the Calder Hall. NACL (North American Cultural Laboratory) is located in Highland Lake, NY. Kowalchuk is artistic director and runs the NACL Theatre and artist residence.

Kowalchuk performs the role of Anne Hathaway in this lively song-filled solo performance about the life of the wife of William Shakespeare. Basing the narrative upon the little information known about the Bard’s wife, Thiessen has written a sensitive and humorous text in verse, taking great delight in imagining and inventing the robust, earthy and intelligent character of Hathaway. Kowalchuk moves seamlessly from one character to the next in a fast-paced performance that packs 50 years into one hour.

Be among the first to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare. There will be a question-and-answer period and special refreshments available after the performance. The suggested donation is $15 and reservations are requested. Call 570/224-0223 or leave a message at 570/224-6722.
