Kids (ages 9-12): perform antic scenes from Shakespeare!

After-school Virtual Shakespeare will have your kids looking forward to performing their own interpretations of the comic characters and scenes found in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream!

Eighteen ACTIVE and fun-filled sessions provide a creative outlet for kids that want to take a break from 'zoom school' and get their cameras ON for some imaginative play and exercise. Experience is welcome but not required. Scripts for the performance are all included!

Each session includes a check-in with friends, physical play, interactive games, text that’s fun to speak, and opportunities to act out antic scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream filled with forest fairies, sprites, and buffoonery.

Theater pros from the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, who've had experience teaching virtual Shakespeare Camp sessions since last March, will lead interactive and participatory activities that include:
- Ensemble building games
- Exploring Shakespeare's text, themes, and language
- Developing and enhancing performance skills
- Training in physical comedy
- Acting out antic scenes from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
- Expanding vocal and movement skills

The program culminates in a FREE online performance for family and friends!
Please note: this program includes activities that will need a space to move in.
