"The actors pulled off the doubling and the technical material and everything else beautifully. The kids laughed and laughed. Teachers said it was 'wonderful' and meant it. They were sky high.” Joseph Earls, teacher |

A team of seven Shakespeare & Company actor/teachers travels to approximately 60 schools throughout the northeast, performing a 90-minute production of one of Shakespeare’s plays with emphasis on the language, pleasure in playing, and the relationship that exists between the actors and the audience. Besides the schools we visit, nearly 100 additional schools come to visit us in one of our centrally located performance venues to see the production. The actors create wonderful rapport with students, and while they make Shakespeare immediate and accessible, they never dumb it down. In addition to the performances, two other programs are available: Workshops in Performance and Actor Audience Workshops. All three pieces work well together. This program has operated annually since 1982, and is slated to expand into the Fall as well.
The performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream was FABULOUS! One kid turned to me after the production and said, 'I thought this was going to be real heavy duty boring Shakespeare, but its really different than I thought.' Thank you, thank you.Pam Ward, teacher
