TN Shakespeare Announces New Summer Camps at Hutchison School

By:
Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, announces three new Fantastical Summer Camps in residence at Hutchison School in East Memphis.

Taught by trained TSC staff teachers, each Camp is designed to appeal to a specific age range for boys and girls. Each Camp has a limited number of participant openings available.

Choose from among these three Camps:

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

For girls and boys entering grades 7-12

June 12-23

Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Cost: $500

It's Halloween in June! Confront your fear! No, not of Shakespeare, but come face-to-face with the mysterious and fantastical characters - human and inhuman - that enliven Shakespeare's greatest works. Campers will learn what it takes to make Shakespeare really scary. This two-week camp will conclude with a camper showcase of ghosts, monsters, and visions.

BE A SPRITE!

For girls and boys entering grades JK-1

July 31 - August 4

Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 2:00 pm

Cost: $200

Explore the magical characters and incidents that populate A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest. Developing their characters and mastering Shakespeare through song, fairy games, and mask and costume making, campers will present their fantastic achievements in an end-of-camp showcase.

MAKE 'EM LAUGH: SHAKESPEARE'S CLOWNS

For girls and boys entering grades 2-6

July 31 - August 4

Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Cost: $275

Meet and become one of Shakespeare's clowns! Explore and master the physical and verbal comedy and scenes that occur in almost all of Shakespeare's work. Whether you want to be sad, happy, bumbling, or pompous, Shakespeare has a part for you. Campers show off in an antic showcase at camp's end.

For more information, including a purchased lunch option for $5 per day and pre-Camp/post-Camp childcare offered by Hutchison School, please contact Education@tnshakespeare.org or call (901) 759-0620.
