Education

Residences

Description: Shakespeare wrote plays for players to perform in a playhouse.

Why then is teaching it so much WORK?

Crafting a balance between performance and academia, Richmond Shakespeare residencies bring actor-teachers into your classrooms for anywhere from three (3) days to three (3) weeks. They will give you the keys to Shakespeare's secrets, known by performers and crucial to unlocking all that is magical and wondrous in his plays. And keep him from being a dusty book stuck in your students' laps.

More fun than a barrel of groundlings yet providing all the facts that the SOL heart could want. (National Standards too). Be a player in a residency and co-design the program with actors and teachers of the Richmond Shakespeare Festival and Richmond Shakespeare ON TOUR!
