The Tempest

Our Mission:
We use the works of Shakespeare to enrich our community through accessible, professional theatre experiences that educate, inspire and entertain people of all ages.

SHAKESPEARE ALIVE!

THE TEMPEST
Grades: 6th-12th
Maximum # of Students: 500

MAY DATES NOW AVAILABLE!
A team of six Kentucky Shakespeare Festival professional artist educators perform a 90-minute production of The Tempest. With emphasis on the language, pleasure in playing, and the relationship that exists between the actors and the audience, our artist educators create a wonderful rapport with the students, and while they make Shakespeare immediate and accessible, they never dumb it down.

$1,000 for first performance.
Contact us for multiple booking discount rates.
