Hope Academy’s Shakespeare Workshop begins on Saturday, January 9! Students will prepare monologues for the Pittsburgh Public Theater’s Shakespeare Monologue and Scene contest (in mid-February) and then work on scenes for a performance at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater on Saturday, March 27.
And for those of you who worry that Shakespeare might be too intimidating for children, check out this video of Brian Cox teaching a two-year-old the “To Be Or Not To Be” soliloquy from Hamlet.
Hope Academy’s Shakespeare Workshop has two sections. The lower division is for 4th through 7th graders; the upper division is for 8th through 12 graders. The workshop runs from January 9 to March 27 and meets on Saturdays from 12 noon to 3 pm at East Liberty Presbyterian Church.
