The Fun is Back
Jump into Shakespeare's magical world… campers spend 2 weeks immersed in a supportive and fun environment with classes in acting, stage combat, voice, movement, and theatrical design – all while rehearsing a 30-minute version of a Shakespeare play.

A Typical Day
For the first half-hour, from 9-9:30 am, the whole group meets together to do a warm-up. Then the group divides up into smaller groups for three Morning Classes. After lunch and a little free time, each group has a rehearsal for their final performance. The Morning Classes are Voice & Movement– which helps each actor to learn to use their voice and body to tell the story of their character; Discovering Shakespeare– which focused on exploring the words of Shakespeare, and how he used his language, and acting skills; and Production & Design– in which campers design and create their props, scenery, and costumes.
