Young Shakespeare Workshop
Facilitates a community of young people, teaching artists, alumni and family who care deeply and passionately about performing Shakespeare. Programs are tuition free and engage a wide spectrum of individual participants. Academic year projects and residencies provide opportunities at high schools serving predominately low-income students where theatre arts are severely limited or unavailable, while summer programs draw together participants from all around Seattle and King County, offering multi-year opportunities for continued depth of skills, growth, and community. Participants will gain all necessary skills to perform Shakespeare and become members of a larger community of young artists from all walks of life joined by a love of words.
