The Appalachian Shakespeare Center at EKU

Loose Canon Project 


The Appalachian Shakespeare Center’s Loose Canon Project (LCP) is an arts education initiative that celebrates learners in the Appalachian region and engages them with the works of William Shakespeare. We bring them the unique opportunity to work with Professional Teaching Artists who will help the students explore Shakespeare’s texts and to work collectively to create a project-based presentation.  LCP culminates in the Loose Canon Festival held on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University every April. The Festival is a day where the students gather on campus, attend workshops, have lunch, and share what they’ve created with each other, their schools, family and friends, and the community.
