“A bravura performance that challenged and thrilled, winning him a heartfelt standing ovation. American accents and bold characters gave Shakespeare an immediacy and accessibility that made my audience feel Shakespeare belonged to them.”

Shakespeare Alive!
The student-matinee version!
Imagine living in a time when the maps had not yet been drawn, before grammar had been set or the dictionary written. It was a time of expansiveness, exploration, joy in words and ideas. This was the time when Shakespeare wrote and this is the feeling that students all too often miss.
This performance/lecture blends fascinating facts and tantalizing anecdotes to paint a highly entertaining and informative view of the Elizabethan world and mindset.
You know something unique is happening when fifth graders in a small Nebraska town make their parents bring them to a public performances of Shakespeare because of what they saw in school that day.
