Dear Will Power parents, campers, and supporters,
Due to budget considerations, we have to cancel our Will Power Camp for 2019 and for the near future.
We apologize to those who had planned to be involved. We will have more information coming on our website as plans develop.
Thanks
Jim Bell, Festival Managing Director.

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Chris Hayes, teacher extraordinaire, Shakespeare enthusiast, and friend of GVSF, has died unexpectedly at his home in England. While we don't have any more information at this time, we will let you know when we hear more details. We mourn the loss of this lovely man and remember fondly all of the wisdom that he shared with our students, faculty, staff, and fellow artists during his time with us.

I am disappointed that GVSU has decided to close on Friday, Feb. 1. This means that there will be no 7:30 pm performance of the Bard Beyond Borders play, Sizwe Banzi Is Dead. Please join us for the ONLY remaining performance on Saturday, Feb. 2, and 2 pm in the Keller Black Box Theatre on the Allendale Campus. The performance is free, and it will be followed by a small reception where you can meet the artists.
