Shakespeare Kids

Join us for a fun and exciting program of rehearsing and performing selections from Shakespeare. The scripts is edited from the original text, preserving the Elizabethan English, while adapting the script for classroom use. Through active and creative exercises, we will learn how to develop character, understand Shakespeare and use our voices and bodies to convey the story. We’ll bring it all together as we prepare for presentation for friends and family at the end. This program provides a safe, fun and supportive atmosphere where students will learn to make bold and creative acting choices, while also developing new levels of personal confidence and ensemble skills. All students will get a speaking role involving lines that will need to be memorized on schedule to support rehearsal in class. Roles range in size (small, medium and large) and will be cast in consideration of class size, production needs and student preference. 

we will add one class and meet from 4 to 6 on the Wednesday before our performance Day. Performance Day is November 23. We have an early call time with a five or 6 PM performance. Expect to have your kids there by two or three.
