The kids just got so, so much out of the experience. They talked about it all the way back to school on the bus and my own child spoke about it all evening. The sheer amount of joy the cast and crew took in discussing not only Shakespeare (from the stage and individually) but the time period in which he wrote was contagious. I thought we were just busing out to see a play. That it was an entire immersive educational day in a gorgeous outdoor location in the canyons made it that much more special. Can’t wait to go again!

It was AMAZING. The students were engaged the entire time. I believe that some of them will consider theatre as a high school elective based on what they experienced today. Thank you for offering this high quality program.

Start to finish, a magical experience. The orientation is fun and informative. The workshops are adorable and the exceptional professionalism of the staff is incredible! The chaperones hardly have to do a thing! The staff at Theatricum is all over it. Everything is tremendously organized and the kids are constantly engaged. What an amazing experience for our students! AND, the actors are top-notch! Extraordinary productions in an extraordinary environment. Shakespeare comes alive!

The play was well front loaded through the history and dramatization presented at the school site workshop, along with the living history experience at the theater, and the materials packet provided. The living history Q & A was a very effective and engaging lesson on Elizabethan England. Shakespeare can be completely unintelligible for middle schoolers, but the resource materials and preparation by the actors was fun and made the story understandable.
