Fun Fact! Campers who complete all four summer camps will have learned about all 38 of Shakespeare's plays.
We discuss how Shakespeare often used masquerades and disguises in his works as a way to help characters step out of their roles and explore emotionally.
Theatre allows actors and audiences to dream and escape reality. We explore how Shakespeare's mastery of word play and imagery sends us on a journey.
“In this wide and universal theater” Shakespeare brilliantly crafts characters-- whether milkmaid or merchant, soldier or senator, cook or king—who help us understand our common humanity. We discuss the connections we all share and learn how “one touch of nature makes the whole world kin!”
Shakespeare is a master of the theater and especially a play within a play. We delve into Theatre as a Metaphor and really focus on how all the world's a stage!
