Join artistic director Lorrie Sparrow-Knapp for a two week Shakespeare theater day-camp designed for young artists! Young actors will explore the world, word and stories of Shakespeare in three separate sessions designed to engage their mind with the Bard of Avon’s at their grade level!
Session 1: (8-10) FAIRY CAMP- campers discover and explore the life and history of fairies through the filter of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM.
Session 2: (10-12) SHAKESPEARE AND NATURE – children learn about Shakespeare and his rich relationship with the natural world through both his text and outdoor exploration in beautiful YELLOW SPRINGS.
Session 3: (12-14) SHAKESPEARE IN ACTION-older students learn to see the “hidden fish” in Shakespeare’s language so they can decipher the secret map in the text he left in his plays. Young Actors will develop their acting, improv and presentation skills needed to perform Shakespeare’s work outside.

An intimate story in an personalized setting, written in 1977 by Cuban American playwright Marie Irene Fornes, YSTC is proud to present one of the major feminist plays from the late 20th century, FEFU AND HER FRIENDS.
Eight women gather in Fefu’s house ostensibly to prepare for a fundraising presentation. Travelling from room to room audiences view the performances in different orders, watching the relationships between the women as they share their thoughts on sex, love and death.
