Summer with Shakespeare Youth Festival ’26

Registration is now open for Summer with SYF 2026 – a fantastic way to introduce kids to Shakespeare!

Each session meets Monday through Friday from 10 am to 3 pm, and culminates with a recital, sharing the work with parents, friends and the community.

We believe that every child who is drawn to this work should be able to participate. Finances should never be a barrier – you may apply here: Financial Assistance Form. We make it our policy to turn no one away for inability to pay. That said, we depend on tuition to cover our expenses, and keep our organization going. We will review your application and contact you with an amount that can be covered with a scholarship. If you have received financial aid in the past, please email us for details on continuing.


MASKS AND MISCHIEF

July 6 through July 10
Monday through Friday – 10 am to 3 pm

Our Summer Players will dive into the playful world of disguise, mistaken identity, and comic chaos as they bring Shakespeare’s most mischievous characters to life. Through character work, voice and movement, and creative mask-making, campers will explore how humor and hidden truths collide on stage—culminating in a recital that celebrates imagination, teamwork, and theatrical fun.


SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED

July 13 through July 17
Monday through Friday – 10 am to 3 pm

Join us for a summer adventure where we’ll dive into the fascinating world of Shakespeare’s messengers, letters … and love notes that change everything! Our campers will uncover how words move worlds in Shakespeare’s plays—from secrets and summons to confessions and revelations. Join us for a week of discovery, drama, and delight as we bring the Bard’s best messengers and their messages to life on stage!
