Led by a professional actor educator focusing on Shakespeare’s most famous play about forbidden love. Schools that sign up to this program will benefit from three 75 minute classroom workshops for each participating class, led by a professional actor-educator focusing on one Shakespeare play.
First piloted in 2019, and further refined in 2021, participating teachers have indicated that these interactive workshops made a measurable impact on presentation skills, literacy, self-expression and teamwork in their classroom. This year’s PAN is based on our production of Romeo and Juliet. And Action.
This program is suitable for students in grades 4 – 12, and is FREE of charge.
