Did you know that Shakespeare created words like eyeball, zany, mimic and madcap? Did you ever wonder what it would be like to play a witch, a murderer, or a clown on stage? Come learn the joys of the world of Shakespeare in this fabulously fun half-day workshop where you will learn what the heck Shakespeare is talking about, and why people love him. In addition, you will get to act out some of the most fun and funny scenes in “The Bard’s” plays in this workshop led by professionals with lots of experience with teaching creative drama. Please bring a snack (no peanut products, please), a bottle of water, and your creative energy!
