CSF in the Schools: Twelfth Night

Twelfth Night

Touring: September 2018 - April 2019
Performance: 30 minutes
Workshops: 50 minutes
Grades: 3-5

Viola is shipwrecked in a foreign land and disguises herself to make a fresh start in Duke Orsino's house. Meanwhile, in Countess Olivia's house, Sir Toby and his friends prank the holier-than-thou Malvolio. When the joke escalates out of control, Malvolio swears revenge.

Workshops will focus on building 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 Macbeth 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.
