No dry reading of Romeo and Juliet. No diagramming iambic pentameter.

We play games, we talk about life and how Shakespeare’s works reflect it, we crack each other up, and we challenge each other to do amazingly cool things.

Improv

Teaches critical thinking, improves processing speed and cognitive skills, and is crazy fun.

Discussion

Shakespeare’s works teach us about ourselves and increase understanding of the human experience.

Performance

This is where the confidence and camaraderie grows by leaps and bounds.

What parents are saying

  • The Shakespeare Project has been so much more than just another class! It’s been friendships, fun, motivation, confidence, work ethic, and a re-invigorated love of Shakespeare. It is a safe and comfortable space, and the teachers are wonderful! It has been an amazing experience for our daughter! We have enjoyed watching her growth over the course of the year. The Shakespeare Project is a unique experience; there is nothing quite like it!

  • The Shakespeare Project has been a true blessing for our daughter—we only wish every teen could experience it. Jenny is an incredible teacher who genuinely cares about helping each student grow into their best self. Having attended several fall classes and served as stage manager for the spring play, I saw firsthand how the students blossomed in confidence and personal growth. This is far more than a Shakespeare class—it’s a transformative journey of self-discovery.

  • Jenny does such a great job with this class! The kids love going to class and they are motivated to learn their parts. This class has taught them so much besides just Shakespeare, and they have fun doing it. They are actually disappointed there has to be a summer break!

  • This class is exceptional. Jenny has curated an experience that brings teens together and invites the best they have to offer. Friendships, trust, and work ethic are fostered. The final production is always amazing to witness. My daughter not only developed a love for Shakespeare’s works—she grew in confidence, discovered new passions, and was gifted the opportunity to feel pride in her own effort as well as the joint efforts of her Shakespeare-family.

  • My four teens were lucky enough to participate in Jenny’s amazing Shakespeare class this past school year. Their growth from start to finish was incredible. They really came out of their shells as the class progressed and their confidence increased by leaps and bounds. They developed an appreciation for the classics, made lifelong friends, and were given many real and meaningful experiences by being a part of the class. I always knew they’d be safe and loved whenever they left for class or rehearsal. They learned so much! I can’t say enough good things about their experiences and how much they each grew individually. They already can’t wait for next school year. Thank you so much Jenny!
