Offering the very best in the
performing arts for kids and teens.
Focusing on the creative process,
artistic development, self-esteem and fun!

We offer an exciting and entertaining curriculum for the child eager to perform. In addition to acting, music, physical performance and dancing, we also focus on character creation, performance interaction, theatre etiquette and professional deportment.

Two five-week Sessions exploring: period character building & scene study; ensemble teamwork; how improvisation works with Shakespeare; comedy movement; stage combat choreography; interacting with large props, hand props, and period costuming; the art of stage make-up, in addition to basic voice training and Shakespearian technique.

We combine workshop classes like "Physical Comedy" and "Scene Study of Comedy of Errors " to create an outrageous comedy scene for performance, and "Fencing" and "Scene Study of Romeo & Juliet" to create an action packed performance with intense acting.

We are unique in our approach to performance workshops, and our attention to professional level training. At the same time we engage the students in a personal manner to inspire their best achievement at whatever ability level they are at. Everyday at Shakespeare Summer Camp will be fun, exciting, active, and inspirational.

As we are offering camps for a wide range of children's ages, all workshops, whether they be acting, voice, dance, movement, comedy or ensemble, will be age specific.
