Shakespeare in the Parking Lot
Description
Each fall and spring, we deliver first-class Shakespearean performances and workshops for your school across the state including Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Macbeth, right in your school’s parking lot. Then the cast moves into classrooms to facilitate workshops to start conversations that closely examine how the play’s themes resonate within both contemporary issues and the high school experience.
Cost: Based on number of performances and workshops
