About

Welcome to the Youth Shakespeare Project!

Registration for our 2012 session is now CLOSED. Registration for our 2013 session will open in March of next year.

This is a six-week, free summer theater program for kids between the ages of 11 and 17, running in its first season from July 5, 2012 to August 10, 2012. The Project is run by students from Dartmouth College and consists of rehearsals, textual work, communication exercises, movement, acting training, theater games, vocal training, and theater education. Our summer's rehearsals will conclude with a performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream on August 10!

The Project, which is graciously sponsored by the Winthrop Bean Fund for Theatre Arts, is completely free. All children between the ages of 11 and 17 are welcome, regardless of economic background. Participants who do not have access to private transportation will be picked up at the Advanced Transit stop in Hanover upon request.

Rehearsals will run from 2-5pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, beginning on July 5, and will be held at the Howe Library in Hanover, NH. Many thanks to the Howe for letting us use the space!
