      Alleghany Community Theatre’s next Readers Theatre will stage scenes from two versions of William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” Thursday, April 24th at 7 pm in the Alleghany County Library, 122 North Main Street in Sparta.

      “What makes this show special,” said the show’s co-producer and ACT president Jim Williams, “is that the entire cast is made up of students from Alleghany High School and the Sparta Elementary School.”  The production will consist of two parts.  First, the high school students will read selected, significant scenes from Shakespeare’s original “Macbeth.”  Then after the intermission, students from the Sparta Elementary School’s gifted and talented program will perform a short, modernized and humorous version of the play.

Dance and music connect cultures.  Even when language is a barrier persons from all backgrounds can communicate with each other through music and dance.  To promote better understanding of many cultures and to explore all the beautiful dances from around the world,  Iara Kendrick, of the Moving Arts Center  in Woodlawn, Virginia, is offering local residents the opportunity to form a dance company incorporating dances from all continents around the globe.
