So, You Wanna Do Shakespeare? — Middle/High School Workshop

In this workshop kids will discover the keys to unlocking Shakespeare’s works. The answers to performing Shakespeare are hidden within the works themselves, and half of the fun of Shakespeare is hunting for those answers. In this workshop we will tackle some of his most beautiful poetry and sonnets. Apply the discoveries you make during this camp to any of Shakespeare’s works. The camp will end with a public performance. Bring a water, snack and lunch each day.
