Co-directed by Tony Cape and Virginia McWilliam, Macbeth is the first Shakespeare tradgedy production in the High School and incorporates a number of innovative features. These include "supernatural" troupes of dancers, original music, and the division of the principal parts between two actors.

Tony Cape commented: "We realized both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are split personalities in whom ambition and moral awareness are in conflict. We felt it would offer some soul protection for young actors if they shared the responsibility for tackling such dark roles".

The Conference of Teachers and Board of Directors are delighted to announce that Katharine Payne has accepted the position of class teacher for the sixth grade class starting in September 2014.   Class teacher Arn Krugman has decided that he will not continue with the class into the upper grades. We are grateful for the excellent work that Mr. Krugman has done with the children, especially in forming relationships among the students and parents and in sharing his love of nature. We believe he has formed a fine foundation for this class's coming years at Hartsbrook, and for their work with their next teacher.

Katharine was born and raised in New York where she attended the Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School from grades 2 - 12.  Her family was closely involved with the school where her father taught math and her mother taught German and handwork. Her uncle was Ekkehard Piening who was the founding class teacher at Hartsbrook. Katharine graduated from Bates College in Maine in 1990 with a double major in Music and German and went on to receive her diploma in Waldorf education from Emerson College in England in 1993.

Katharine began her life as class teacher as Hartsbrook the following year and worked here until she left her class in 1999 to start a family. She is married to Kim John Payne and is the mother of two daughters, Saphira and Johanna, whom she has home schooled using the Waldorf curriculum since 2009. They have recently enrolled at Hartsbrook in the 8th and 6th grades. Katharine has also worked at the Hawthorne Valley School, as a handwork and orchestra teacher, and has been an adjunct member of the arts faculty at our own high school. From 2009 until the present time, Katharine has worked as the Administrative Director of The Center for Social Sustainability.  We are vey excited abut the many gifts she brings to this class and to the school.

Please join us in welcoming Katharine and her family to Hartsbrook.
