Shakespeare for Teachers

	Participants in the September 29, 2007 Shakespeare for Teachers

The Acting Company is very proud to announce our Shakespeare for Teachers professional development workshops.... ideal for all teachers who like Shakespeare, love Shakespeare, have heard of Shakespeare or even have a good, healthy fear of Shakespeare! This year we added a Second Tier of the program for teachers who participated in the first round of workshops or already possessed a background in the works of William Shakespeare. This year, our workshops will be held at The Baruch Performing Arts Center, Manhattan from September through May. Check back for exact dates soon.

Check out the Acting Company Shakespeare for Teachers MySpace page! This webpage will now act as a virtual classroom where participants in the workshop will be able to communicate with each other, the workshop leaders and The Acting Company.

A Resource Guide will provide classroom teachers with lessons and reproducibles to enhance the theatre-going experience.  Pre- and Post-performance activities will help the students focus on both the literary and emotional impact of the piece.  Role-playing, text analysis, writing-in-role and other drama-based techniques found in the guide will enhance the teachers' repertoire of exercises and will give students new approaches to literature.
