DPS Shakespeare Festival Workshops
Description
Each year the DCPA is proud to partner with Denver Public Schools to welcome 5,000 students of all ages to the DPS Shakespeare Festival. To prepare for the day-long event, the DCPA offers in-school workshops throughout the Denver school district and beyond. Then, each April, students fill downtown's Arts Complex and perform scenes and sonnets from the works of William Shakespeare as well as demonstrate dances, songs and music of his era.
