In addition to participating in Tim Grimm's magical yearly tours of Scotland (Scotland Folk Tours) and Ireland (Inishfree Irish Music Tours), in 2026 Alissa will be leading two one-week tours of Shakespeare's England for the company The Great Courses Journeys. As the tour's resident Shakespeare Expert, Alissa will provide lecture-performances, a workshop about the ways actors approach Shakespeare's verse, and theatrical commentary as we visit dreamy bard-related sites in London and Stratford-Upon-Avon and see plays performed at theatres like Shakespeare's Globe and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
