SUMMER CONSERVATORY CAMP
Our Shakespeare Conservatory will return in 2023 with both a 3-week and 2-week training option! Classes will take place safely outside at the Bruns Amphitheater this summer for grades 6-12. Students will develop and improve their performative skills by studying with Bay Area experts in such areas as Acting, Voice, Movement, Text Analysis and more, all while rehearsing one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays for a performance on the Bruns stage!

They then spend their afternoons in rehearsals, cultivating, crafting, and putting their newly-acquired skills to the test in fully-staged Shakespeare performances. The experience culminates in Shakespeare performances for family and friends at the end of the program on the famous Bruns stage.
