| Shakespeare Camp: Much Ado About Nothing August 11 - 15, 2025 | Come join us as we dive into Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. We’ll spend some time looking at who this “Shakespeare” guy was, the period in which he wrote all these plays, and the language he used to write them. We’ll then be reading Much Ado aloud together, readers’ theatre style, and discussing it as we go along, bringing the play to life and really getting to understand it. Finally, in our last couple of days together, we will be diving even deeper into specific scenes or monologues and workshopping them with the end goal of presenting our pieces to friends and family on the final day to show off what approximately six hours of rehearsal can get you. We’ll meet Monday to Friday, from 11:00am-3:30pm EST, with an hour long, unsupervised lunch break from 12:30-1:30. The final showcase will be from 2:30-3:30pm on Friday afternoon. More Information |
