We Love Shakespeare!
Ages 8-13
We Love Shakespeare! inspires confidence, literacy and love of words while being incredibly fun. Students play with Shakespeare through theater games and improvisation. They tease out the meaning of each scene, dive deep into the beauty and emotions behind the language, and, in the process, develop a passionate love and understanding of Shakespeare.

“Because it’s fun to be different characters. You’re actually becoming somebody different. You’re not just playing them. For that bit of time, you are them. You’re experiencing what they’re experiencing.”
