Cape Ann Conversations

Meet Lily Narbonne, Co-Founding Artistic Director of Lanes Coven Theater Co. Lanes Coven is actor-driven. They produce reimagined Shakespeare and classical plays outdoors, accessible to the Cape Ann community and visitors. They are committed to low-cost experiences everyone can enjoy. Why outdoors? They believe that — after an audience — nature is a Shakespeare Actor's best tool and a theater company's greatest humility; with every word they speak, they honor what is larger than us. Cape Ann is their inspiration—geographically, historically, and culturally. Artists abound. And the community is hungry, supportive, and dedicated... perfect ingredients to make theater.
