Open to the Public

Free and open to all high school students, in any school system or home-schooled. Lunch will be provided. Register online here by Thursday, October 20.

Attention high school students! Come for an exciting, immersive three-hour workshop, and learn how to make Shakespeare come alive in your performances. Facilitated by actors from The Shakespeare Project of Chicago, you will learn tools and techniques for unlocking emotion and meaning in Shakespeare’s texts.

The workshop will culminate in participant readings from John Gielgud’s radio adaptation of Hamlet, drawn from a hand-annotated copy in the Newberry collection.

No experience required! Lunch will be provided—and it’s all FREE.

This workshop is part of programming related to the Newberry exhibition Creating Shakespeare, which runs from September 23 to December 31, 2016.
