Awards

MacGuffin’s annual Shakespeare Awards celebrate acting achievements from our most recent year. Nominations are announced in December. The awards are hand-made by Taylor-Backes glass blowers in Boyertown, PA. The formal ceremony includes video presentations and live performances. We also have former Shakespeare Awards winners, instructors, staff and alumni to help us present the awards. 

Our 14th Annual Shakespeare Awards ceremony will take place on Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 7 PM.  The event is formal. MacGuffin students, family and friends are welcome to attend.
