Education

The Actors' Shakespeare Project is dedicated to education both at the high school and college levels. We believe that the teaching of Shakespeare as performance is essential to fully appreciating the values of these extraordinary plays.

We are anxious to create relationships with educators and institutions to help broaden students' appreciation for Shakespeare.   Please contact us if you are an educator and wish to discuss further possibilities.
