LOWER LAKE — The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival will be coming to Lower Lake High School to present a free performance of William Shakespeare”s “Macbeth.”
The Lake County Office of Education College-Going Initiative is bringing this event to the public as a fundraiser for the Academic Decathlon. Admission is free, but donations are greatly accepted. All proceeds will go directly to the winning Lake County decathlon team to help with the cost of going to the state competition in Sacramento.
The performance will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. Nov. 9 in the LLHS new gymnasium. Free curriculum for all grade levels is available to teachers who wish to incorporate this performance into their lesson plans. Everyone is welcome.
A special thank you is due to Anna Sabalone, the Academic Decathlon coach from Upper Lake High for making the arrangements. Upper Lake students will participate in a private showing at their school earlier that day. The Academic Decathlon teams from all five Lake County districts are studying “The Age of Empire” as the 2011-12 topic. Students will take multiple exams and participate in a speech, interview and essay competition on Jan. 28 and Feb. 4. This event is sponsored by The Lodge at Blue Lakes and will take place at Kelseyville High School. Students will also have the opportunity to enter a poetry and poster contest sponsored by the Lake County Arts Council.
