Overwhelmed by Shakespeare? Does his language make you knit your brow? Did you know we get the phrase "knit your brow" from Shakespeare?

We'll make Shakespeare accessible, approachable, and FUN.

Sharpen your acting skills, get a one up on your English classmates, and increase self-confidence through decoding and performing Shakespearian text. This stuff was written to be read and heard aloud! Find the rhythm and pace - at your own pace - while exploring universal themes and discovering the complex beauty and fun of Shakespeare's language. Wear comfortable shoes - this is active stuff!

The plays were written 400 years ago, but these aren't dusty, outdated, olden day ideas!
