July 25-29: Romeo and Juliet
August 8-12: The Tempest
Ages 7-9
In this camp, students will embark on a journey through a Shakespeare classic! Students will work with a teaching artist to explore an abridged, kid-friendly version of a Shakespeare play, culminating in a performance on Friday for family and friends. As students gain basic instruction in acting, they will become familiar with the classic language of The Bard. This summer, students have the opportunity to delve into the classically tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet or step into the captivating world of Shakespeare’s most magical play, The Tempest.
