shakespeare festival 2010
We are excited to announce we have just confirmed the following plays for 2010. In addition to our regular Shakespearean playbill, we were able to get tickets for a brand new play, American Night.
Earn 10 English or drama credits or 100 OSPI clock hours (K-12 teachers) this summer while enjoying six plays in beautiful Ashland, Oregon. Classroom sessions before you go help you better understand the language. Then you finish up your course work in the five follow-up sessions! Due to the compact schedule for this program, students should plan on attending ALL class sessions before and after the program as attendance is considered during the grading process. Coursework includes reading and writing assignments. Taken this class before? We have several credit options for students who want to join us again this year.
