Shakespeare in the Park

Description

Children’s Workshop Description:

Think Shakespeare is old and boring? Think again! Join the Summit Players for 45 minutes of fun and brain acrobatics! Play some games, work with some text, and explore the natural world. Learn how Shakespeare used nature in his plays and why his characters talk the way they do. The workshop is specifically built for children ages 8 and up, but younger children and "fun adults" can still have plenty of fun and learn things they never knew about Shakespeare. Shed any iambic penta-jitters, then join us for the show!  1 p.m. workshop; 2:30 p.m. performance.
