Anyone who has not yet visited the Appomattox area just might be pleasantly surprised with the area’s artistic talent and appreciation for historical literature. One nonprofit organization in Appomattox is going above and beyond in furthering the area’s artistic talent and preserving the appreciation for literature that is several centuries old. Wolfbane Productions might be a performing arts organization in a small town, but the organization’s positive impact is quite expansive.

Over the past month, people have been visiting Appomattox in droves from various locations to see Wolfbane’s recreation of one of Shakespeare’s most prestigious plays, professional actors from New York City have been performing at a high level, and tickets have been selling out.

“It was just a slice of magic and nostalgia in the woods,” said Wolfbane’s Founder and Artistic Director Dustin Williams.

From May 26 through June 24, Wolfbane Productions has been performing “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” for people in the Appomattox community and beyond to enjoy.
