2026 Shakesperience Summer Camp

Join us each summer for an exciting journey into Shakespeare’s language, characters and plays. Our two-week camps are theater experiences that immerse young people of all ages in the art and craft of acting, and the terms and techniques used to create Shakespeare’s plays.

​

Led by a team of incredible teaching artists, they'll explore theatre games, clown skills, text analysis, and movement and dance -- culminating in a rousing performance adapted by our teaching artists in collaboration with each and every camper.

Age Groups:

​

​"Littles" for ages 5 to 7:

Dance, sing, play, move, and create! This introduction to theatre arts engages our youngest thespians in structured activities and guided free play as they explore stories, poetry, movement, music, games, hands-on projects, and more!

"Middles" for ages 8 to 11: 

Collaborate with friends to tell a story through language, voice, movement, and imagination! Our middle group continues with plenty of play, improvisation, and learning, and additional focus on collaboration, character, and narrative building.

"Biggles" for ages 12 to 15:

Our teen group engages in a dynamic exploration of Shakespeare’s text through scene work, soliloquy, storytelling, and theme. They'll also dive into more complex improv and clowning; text, voice, and movement;  Elizabethan dance and stage fight; and general performance practice -- all keys to theatrical adventure, creative agency, and collaborative summer fun!

Pricing:

We have limited funding available to students who, for whatever reason, have difficulty paying our participation fees. Our goal is to be able to provide training or education for any student that wishes to participate, regardless of economic status. Please choose the level that is right for your family.​
