Shakespeare on-the-Run Shakespeare on-the-run is the Shakespeare Festival's outreach component. We take two to four actors and an emcee into schools, libraries and other community venues to present a 40-60 minute program of Shakespearean scenes and monologues, followed by an without costumes or props, thereby focusing on Shakespeare's language. The city of El Paso Museums and Cultural Affairs Department (MCAD) provides a certain number of performances at no charge to community groups.   Arts Education Outreach - Eden Enterprises * School performances—Eden produces plays and dance shows, many of which tour area schools. Recent projects included school tours of Entremeses Cervantinos, Bocón, Shakespeare in LOVE, The Chicano Experience, and Silencio no mas for both the Ysleta and El Paso school districts. Eden often produces in association with the El Paso Community College Drama Department and assists the College’s Theater Department in its productions. * Viva los Niños!—At the invitation of the Ysleta ISD in 2004, Eden created Viva los Niños!, a summer musical drama performed each summer by children from Kindergarten through sixth grade at the Ysleta ISD Fine Arts Amphitheater. The youngsters sing, act, and dance the history of El Paso. * The Big Read—In 2007 and 2008, Eden partnered with the El Paso Public Library to stage scenes from books featured in the BIG Read, an initiative of the NEA to revitalize the role of literature in American popular culture. The works included scenes from To Kill a Mockingbird and Fahrenheit 451 which were performed at library branches. * Shakespeare on-the-Run—This group of four actors and a narrator goes into schools and community settings to present scenes from Shakespearean plays. * ZAP Dancers—Two dancers and a narrator perform a 45-minute show demonstrating the Native, Spanish, Mexican and Western American folk dance traditions of the southwest and how they have influenced each other. * Theater in Education Project—A project of the El Paso Independent School District’s Department of English Language Acquisition, this initiative took 30 immigrant high school students with limited English proficiency and put them into an intensive three week theater workshop.
