STUDENT MATINEES
Shakespeare & Company offers performances specifically scheduled for student audiences through out the North East and at its campus in Lenox. Typically, these student shows feature plays that are central to school curriculum, such as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Taking students to see Shakespeare gives them an opportunity to experience his plays as live theatrical events, rather than simply as literature. Visit http://www.shakespeare.org/tour for more the current schedule of Student Matinees.
In the Spring, Shakespeare & Company also offers an educational and entertaining 45-minute presentation called Shakespeare and the Language that Shaped a World for middle- and elementary school groups. Visit http://www.shakespeare.org for more info.
SCHOOL GROUPS AND CAMPS
School groups and camps save up to 50% on tickets to summer, fall and winter performances at Shakespeare & Company’s Founders’ and Elayne P. Bernstein Theatres. A day or two at Shakespeare & Company becomes an indelible and entertaining group experience. Additional activities include backstage tours, meetings with artists, talk-backs, and even specially designed education & discovery workshops for your group. We’ll help you make hospitality arrangements in nearby hotels and country inns and help plan an itinerary to take in the scenic Berkshires, historical sites, and neighboring cultural attractions. Shakespeare & Company will create a field trip experience that will last a lifetime.
