We are excited to announce our new season – three plays, to be presented in March of 2023. If this will be your first time participating in a class, workshop, or production, please email us at speak@shakespeareyouthfestival.com to schedule an introductory meeting (phone/Zoom).
All rehearsals will be held at World City Center (3911 W Adams Blvd – just east of Crenshaw). Performance venue details are still being finalized, and will be announced before rehearsals begin.
Tuition for each participant is $650.
