Folger Education knows that the best way for students to understand Shakespeare’s language is to play with his words.
Our Shakespeare in Action workshops are interactive and lively learning programs that give students the opportunity to participate in our nationally-recognized active language learning techniques.
Workshops take place in the Folger’s Elizabethan Theatre or in our audition and rehearsal space. Each workshop is tailored to the needs of the student group and led by a team of Folger Docents.
The Basics
- 90 minutes long
- Offered on select dates at 10am and 12pm
- The workshops are designed for classes or groups of students from 1st to 12th grade.
