Two actors from the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Artist-in-Residence program will hold a ½ day workshop for 5th and 6th grade humanities students. Students will explore the social and historical contexts for Shakespeare’s plays in a learning environment similar to that of a professional rehearsal. This workshop will supplement the Shakespeare unit of the humanities curriculum. At the end of the unit, students performed their own version of Romeo and Juliet for family and friends.
