I think I was most drawn to the collaborative aspect of it.” Matthew Windham, resident company member at Hedgerow Theatre, has been very busy. Adapter of Hedgerow’s current production, Storyboard: The Hobbit, Windham has been stretching the boundaries of theatrical collaboration,…

The Belle of the Ball

The Belle of the Ball

With our Belle of the Ball Gala happening at the end of this week, we here at Hedgerow are counting our blessings and looking towards the future.  But, with a ninety-five year history, it’s only natural that we use our past as the foundation for our growth.

Each year, Hedgerow Theatre produces a Shakespeare classic for local area schools, who bring students to experience the Bard live, off the page and out of the classroom.  This March, actors Owen Corey, Lisa VillaMil, Susan Wefel, Essie Windham and Matthew Windham, directed by Hedgerow’s own Producing Artistic Director, Jared Reed, present the Scottish tragedy, Macbeth.

We are so excited to perform Macbeth, that we would like to share it beyond its intended educational setting.  For four nights only, join us for the witching hour, and the murder of the king.

Macbeth is open to the public Tuesdays and Wednesdays, March 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 7:30pm.  Admission is FREE, with a suggested donation of $10. Tickets can be reserved online or by calling 610-565-4211.

Our production designer, Essie Windham, gives a sneak preview below of what’s to come, with production shots of the final dress rehearsal.

Playing Blind

Playing blind is not an easy task.  Sometimes I wonder if it is even ethical. But in Hedgerow Theatre Company’s current production of Wait Until Dark, adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher in 2013 from the original 1966 version by Frederick Knott, I have to do just that.  Five times a week, I explore the life of Susan Hendrix, a woman who lost her sight in a car accident eighteen months prior to the events…
