At Home with Shakespeare

 

 

Home School Programs

 

Seattle Shakespeare Company offers special 1-day intensive workshops to accompany our matinees, geared specifically toward home school families who want their students to have a richer experience with Shakespeare. Each workshop begins with a play introduction before students watch the matinee, and ends with a 90-minute text and scene workshop for students to explore Shakespeare’s language and themes of the play.

Register soon, because each session has a minimum number of students needed for it to take place, and a maximum enrollment limit!
