TN Shakespeare Company Announces Four New Summer Camps for K-12

Tennessee Shakespeare Company announces four new 2022 Summer Camps for participants ranging in ages from rising Kindergarteners to rising 12th-graders and recent Camp graduates.

The one-week and two-week camps will take place inside TSC's facility in three different studios, including its Tabor Stage, as well as immediately outdoors on its property.

Led by TSC's Education Managers Carmen-maria Mandley and Cara McHugh Geissler, each Camp is designed to appeal to a specific age range. All are welcome. Each Camp has a limited number of participant openings available.
