Shakespeare Camps for this Summer

Register Now for Summer Shakespeare Camps!
We are offering two exciting three-week sessions of CAMP SHAKESPEARE at Crossroads College Preparatory School. In June, campers will rehearse & perform short adaptations of Julius Caesar and The Tempest; in July, King Lear and "Shakespeare's Greatest Hits" featuring scenes from Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, Twelfth Night and more. Campers in both sessions will work with experienced SFSTL Teaching Artists on a wide range of topics including Production & Design, Stage Combat, and Commedia Dell'Arte. Sign up for both camps and save! In addition to these exceptional Shakespeare Festival Camps at Crossroads, ongoing partnership camps at COCA, Craft Alliance, and Laumeier Sculpture Park will round out a rollickin' summer of Shakespearian exploration!

Want more Bardy goodness? Join us in August for a special two-week session for Upstart Crows! Instruction in Advanced Acting Techniques and writing your own scenes will round out the program, which culminates in an informal showing for friends and family.  Click here for more information and to register!
