The Shakespeare Playground for kids
AS YOU LIKE IT for Kids
Description
Shakespeare’s beloved tale of sibling rivalries, dueling dukes, clever princesses,
wrestlers, jesters, clowns, shepherds--and even a snake and a lion! Using theatre
games, improvisation, costumes, props, music, and stage fighting/choreography, we
will explore the play and the life and times of William Shakespeare. Ensemble-oriented
rehearsals culminate in a final performance. No previous experience necessary, just
a love of play and a willingness to work with others.
Target Group
For ages 8-13
Date/Times/Duration
Tuesday – Friday, August 11 - 15th, 9-1 pm (with lunch break).
