This program introduces elementary age students to Shakespeare. Shakespeare himself uses puppets of Elizabeth I, James II, the skull of Yorick, Crab the Dog and many other props, plus changes of costume to play the most famous of Shakespeare's characters. All performances are done in a classroom setting and use many of the young students as a part of his creative process. Following the visit, students write letters to Shakespeare, and "Shakespeare" writes them back!    |

This is the second year of our "Artists in Residence" program, which allows middle school children the opportunity to perform a live Shakespearean play. Artists from Shakespeare At Play visit the school for 6 weeks, once or twice a week. The play is cast, rehearsed and designed by the students. This culminates in a live performance for family and friends. This program has been implemented at Jordan Middle School and Luther Burbank Middle School in Burbank, CA. and also Cabrillo Elementary School in San Pedro, CA. This picture is a cast photo after the wonderful performance at Cabrillo after 10 weeks of hard work and dedication. Good going kids!!
After six weeks of hard work, the kids get to see what goes into the production of the play, and it allows them to participate as they see fit. Some wish to act, others are musicians, and still others do technical theatre work. What is very special about this program is that it is for all students, not just those who are interested in drama. So that kids who never even considered acting before have a chance to perform. This is an experience they will never forget. |

Shakespeare At Play continues on with our third year in the Arts Community Partnership Network. This is a wonderful four-part program designed to introduce Shakespeare to 4th and 5th Graders. First, a representative of SAP meets with school staff to discuss which play to focus on. Second, SAP performers return to the school to do a Professional Development Workshop for teachers, which gives them some insight into how to teach Shakespeare to their students. Third, SAP performers return once again to the school in full Shakespearean Costumes and present a fun assembly which prepares them for to see a Shakespearean performance at the Colony Theatre. Fourth, the kids are bussed to the Colony Theatre to see our production of either A Midsummer Night's Dream or Romeo and Juliet. Before the show, the children are greeted by William Shakespeare and The Guild of Saint George, which is an Elizabethan Re-enactment company. After the show, the kids are given a copy of the play to keep. Teachers inform us that the kids are silent on the bus trip home, because they are all engrossed in reading the play! | |
