The Winter’s Tale: Shakespeare in Production��

Who: Teens ages 12–18
When:��Mondays, Sep. 10 to Nov. 12, 4–5:30 p.m.

Full of music, magic and melodrama, The Winter’s Tale has something for everyone—family feuds and family reunions, a singing pickpocket, disguises and mistaken identity, a shepherds’ dance party, and the most famous stage direction in Shakespeare (“exit, pursued by a bear”). In this 10-week class, students will rehearse an abridged version of The Winter’s Tale��and perform it for friends and family on Nov. 12.

For both advanced performers and newcomers to Shakespeare, this class is a fun and engaging way to build language and performance skills, work with other teenagers as part of a team, and connect the ideas and conflicts in Shakespeare's world to our own. Open to students of all experience levels and abilities.

Tuition is $200, but scholarships are available. CU employees: Use the code BUFFBARD18 to receive 10 percent off tuition for CSF fall classes.
