Bard in the Classroom FAQ

Our workshops are available year-round. Please submit your workshop request at least 6 weeks in advance of the date you’d like to host the workshop. The earlier you submit your request, the more likely it is that we’ll be able to fulfill it.

We’ll come to you! We can run the workshop in a theatre, classroom, library, or similar space. We just ask that workshops not be held in gymnasiums, since acoustics can be a problem.

If you are based outside of the Lower Mainland, we may be able to travel to you. Please submit a booking request, and we’ll will get back to you.

If you are visiting from outside of the Lower Mainland, we may be able to run the workshop in our Vancouver-based rehearsal studios. Please contact [email protected] to inquire.

Workshops can focus on the story, imagery, characters, or a specific speech in a particular play, or can provide a general introduction to Shakespeare. Please indicate your preferences on the booking request form.
