Introduction to Shakespeare

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

For participants aged 10 to 15, maximum 16 spots

In this 6 week workshop participants will learn a bit about Shakespeare and work together to put together a short performance based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream—a hilarious play complete with royals, fairies, bumbling actors, magic, love potions gone wrong and even an ass’ head!
