Bard's Birthday Bash Set for Adam's Shakespearean Theatre This Week

The Bard's Birthday Bash, a chance for students to share their theatrical work and enjoy a birthday party for Williams Shakespeare, is scheduled for today and tomorrow, April 23 and 24 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the grounds surrounding the Adam's Shakespearean Theatre.

Sponsored by the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the bash is an exciting and enthusiastic way of exposing kids to the Bard's works through their own performances, as well as by observing the efforts of other students. Students will also participate in period activities such as jousting and maypole games, as well as enjoying cake with Queen Elizabeth I.

"We'll have kids here from Cedar City, St. George and other southern Utah communities," said Festival Education Director Michael Bahr. Like many of the other educational outreach programs, the Bard's Birthday Bash has proven to be more popular and successful than anyone imagined.
