Shakespeare-in-the-Schools Tour
Our popular traveling educational production of The Taming of the Shrew could be coming to a theatre or school near you.

Each year, from January through April, the Utah Shakespearean Festival hits the road with an educational outreach program for schools in Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Arizona. The highlight of the program is a seventy-five minute version of a Shakespearean play (The Taming of the Shrew in 2010), including complete costumes, sets, and theatrical lighting. Also included is a fifteen-minute post-show discussion with the actors, and workshops in Stage Combat, Performing Shakespeare's Text, and Developing Character through Improvisation.

The cost of the full program is $1,000, plus additional fees for workshops. Limited grants are available.

The Utah Shakespearean Festival's production of The Taming of the Shrew is part of Shakespeare in American Communities, Shakespeare for a New Generation, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with Arts Midwest.
