Shakespeare and Violence Prevention

Since 2011, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival has partnered with violence prevention experts at CU Boulder to combine live performance and the latest school violence research. Students improve their Shakespeare literacy AND learn safe and effective intervention strategies they can use when they see mistreatment happening around them. Below is a repository of study guides prepared to support this innovative program.
