Programs

Shakespeare After School

Our after-school programs invite middle school students to explore Shakespeare's enduring characters and themes through the eyes of an actor and through the lens of their own lived experiences. Professional teaching artists and undergraduate near peers guide participants through a variety of theatre games and activities, sharing the essentials of acting and directing, and helping students to discover the possibilities that unfold while bringing Shakespeare's language to life. Connecting mind and body through theatre and play, the program helps to build artistic, literacy, and social emotional skills, including communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

Traveling Theater

Our traveling theater program brings imaginative, abbreviated adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays to Greater Boston’s elementary and middle schools. These plays offer an inspiring, accessible, and engaging early encounter with Shakespeare in performance.

Optional pre- and/or post-performance workshops are available to help students deepen their understanding of the plays.
