Camp Shakespeare

Spend the summer with Shakespeare!
Sessions run from June 18–August 11, 2012! 

Participants in this acting-intensive day camp journey through a world of discovery, capturing Shakespeare’s language through animated explorations in theatrical movement, text analysis, group improvisation and stage combat. Over two weeks, young people ages 9–18 create fun, dynamic characters from Shakespeare’s canon, culminating in a performance onstage at the Shakespeare Theatre Company.

Camp Hours are 10:00a.m.–5:00p.m. Monday–Friday with a showcase on the last Saturday

"Camp Shakespeare is fun and challenging and you learn a great deal about acting and understanding Shakespeare. In theatre, I've always been told, if you can do Shakespeare well, then you can pretty much do anything." –Sarah Hirsch, Advanced Camp 2011
