What is your high school
student
doing this summer?
Soccer? Swimming? Baseball?
Arts and Crafts?
Did you know that there
is something new?
All Things Shakespeare!
can help your student do it all.
Do you want your teenager...
To excel at speaking as well as running?
To be a confident reader as well as a good batter?
To be part of a team that develops both mind and body?
To have stronger self confidence everywhere s/he goes? The Shakespeare Festival at Tulane has created a new program for high school students who are looking for something different. Programing includes classes in acting, voice, movement, stage combat and much more… including a full production of Twelfth Night . The program offers multiple sessions and flexible scheduling to accommodate other summer programs in which your son or daughter may be involved.
