“Bard-In-A-Box”, a special touring program
Our professional actor will bring a fun interactive workshop to your school! Bring
William Shakespeare’s world to life - in your classroom, in your library, at your summer
camp, at your club meeting, or anywhere a group of students or adults meet. This
workshop is designed to get your group out of their seats and up “on stage”. It can be
customized for any age group - Kindergarten through adults. The time slot can be
adjusted for your schedule - anywhere from about 20 minutes to an hour.
Ahead of time, your teacher or group leader will consult with one of our professional
actors to choose a Shakespeare play and a date. Then on that whimsical day, our
actor arrives with an intriguing box filled with costumes, props, and scripts. Your
participants learn the same physical warm-ups and vocal warm-ups that professional
actors exercise before a performance.
The the colorful costumes and props are distributed. Roles are assigned. Your
participants are transformed into a royal court of Renaissance England. Our
professional actor will step aside, because your group will become the actors, staging
an entertaining scene - with each other and for each other.
The cost is $150. For more information, please leave a message at our box office 314-
361-5664 or email us at info@stlshakespeare.org.
