The Plays:
Twelfth Night (9-12 year olds) This classic comedy about the many forms and fashions of love, Twelfth Night cushions relevant content, such as loss and bullying, in an uproarious farce featuring love triangles, hidden identities, and mischievous clowns. With a wide range of roles for actors at any level of experience, Twelfth Night invites us into a world where the improbable is possible, chaos begets connection, and love transcends shipwrecks.
- Daily interactive, synchronous Zoom classes with our trained and experienced teaching artists
- Pre-recorded asynchronous videos for additional enrichment
Fee: $750 for all three weeks!
