High Schools Take on the Bard in 2014 Fall Festival of Shakespeare, Running 11/20-23

The 26th Annual Fall Festival of Shakespeare is nearly here, and we invite you to join us for a memorable weekend of performances, November 20-23, in the Tina Packer Playhouse.

The Fall Festival is Shakespeare & Company's flagship Education program. For nine weeks, our professional directors, costumers, set, light, and sound designers and production staff guide more than 500 students at 10 high schools across Massachusetts and New York through a language-based exploration of a Shakespeare play. The students first perform at their schools and, in the final week of the residency, gather in a spirit of celebration to stage their plays for the public -- and for each other -- in a four-day, non-competitive festival. It is a truly transformative experience for the students and audiences alike.
