Georgia Shakespeare

07-08 Workshop Series

Our fun and lively workshop series offers interactive ways to explore the works of Shakespeare through theatre games, scenes and monologues. Workshops are designed for classrooms of 30 students or less, and are meant to get your students out of their seats and on their feet!  We can't wait to work with you and your students to help bring the bard's words alive through performance!  We can also custom design a workshop to fit into the special needs of your classroom.
