After a series of conversations over many months, we have succeeded in piloting a new multi-part program with the
Shakespeare Theatre. This program includes three core components:
- A “Pathways to Professions” visit to the Theatre, during which students meet various staff members and learn about jobs in the theater industry.
- A second visit to the Theatre to watch a kid-friendly version of a Shakespeare play.
- A third visit to the Theatre, during which students get to perform a scene from a play they have been rehearsing.

We have thus far piloted the first and second components with a class of 5th graders from Randle Highlands– and each has been a resounding success! Special thanks are due to Marcy Spiro, the Community Engagement Manager for the Shakespeare Theatre for her coordination of this program and also to Ms. Caesar for her work in preparing her class for the multiple pieces of this experience.
We look forward to updating you on the last piece of the program (a student performance) during the Spring of 2013.
