CSF in the Schools: The Tempest (2020)

The Tempest

Touring: September 2019 - April 2020
Performance: 30 minutes
Workshops: 50 minutes
Grades: 3-5

When all his enemies are shipwrecked on his magical island home, Prospero must choose between seeking revenge, or forgiving those who did him wrong.

Workshops will focus on empathy, teamwork, and how to be an "upstander" (someone who choose to help when they see mistreatment), using roleplay scenarios from the play.

CSF is also touring Romeo and Juliet for grades 6+.

Shakespeare & Violence Prevention

Colorado Shakespeare Festival’s touring program uses 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.

How does it work? Professional actors from CSF perform an abridged Shakespeare play onsite at your school (no field trips required), followed by classroom workshops that help students connect situations in the play to situations they face every day. Students can step into the shoes of characters from the play and roleplay creative solutions.

Pricing: $650-$1200
Subsidies available for qualified schools.
