A LITTLE SHAKESPEARE

Engaging young artists with the work of the Bard in an adaptation directed and designed by professional artists, performed and supported backstage by high school students.

Each season, Two River Theater produces a 75-90 minute adaptation of a Shakespeare play—directed and designed by theater professionals, and performed and supported backstage by high school students. Student participants are selected through auditions and interviews, and rehearsals take place over a 2-3 month period. Performances are open not only to the public; four school-time shows engage students as young as 4th grade, often serving as their introduction to Shakespeare. Since 2013, over 200 students from 35 schools have participated in ten Little Shakes productions, performing for thousands of audience members as young as 9 years old.
