Bringing Shakespeare to life for
elementary, middle, and high school students.
Intrepid takes condensed versions of Shakespeare plays to elementary, middle and high schools. We also offer workshops to schools to help students understand and connect with Shakespeare. In 2010, we will be touring 50 minute productions of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, ROMEO AND JULIET and ANDROCLES AND THE LION. Intrepid is also touring A DAY OF SHAKESPEARE - in one day students receive six in-class workshops and a 50 minute performance of one of our two touring Shakespeare plays. The workshops are interactive and engage students in Shakespeare's stories, characters, language and poetry. All workshops involve student participation through improvisation, speaking the language and playing with Shakespeare's verse. Getting the students actively involved - up on their feet speaking the text - is the most immediate, accessible, and exciting way to engage them in the play.
It is our hope that exposing students to Shakespeare through live theatre will make learning fun, accessible and serve to enrich each student's life and create the next generation of theatregoers. There is no substitute for the shared experience of seeing Shakespeare live.
