Bard Youth Fest
Supported by
The Pamela and David Richardson Family Foundation
A journey of creativity and discovery providing young people with an opportunity to make Shakespeare their own.
Participants will:
- collaborate with other young people to interpret excerpts from Shakespeare and create their own piece
- receive mentorship from a professional teaching artist in workshops and rehearsals
- share their piece in a professional theatre space with other Troupes at the Bard Youth Fest Finale.
This multi-week program celebrates the infinite ways young people play, think about, and perform Shakespeare.
Thanks to the generosity of our funders, the Pamela and David Richardson Family Foundation, participation is FREE.
