EDUCATION

EducationPerhaps not everyone can be an actor, but we believe everyone can learn to understand Shakespeare's language, intellectually and emotionally. Our goal is to help inspire and inform artists, audiences, and students through creative theater productions and workshops of the highest quality.

We've already provided workshops and lectures for public and private schools, colleges, civic organizations, and other groups.

Recent projects include:

  • A visit to the Zoo School in Lincoln, Nebraska, by actor Julie Kinkennon and Education Director Stephen Buhler.
  • A presentation about film versions of Macbeth, hosted by the Medieval and Renaissance Studies group at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, co-led by Professor Stephen S. Hilliard.
  • A panel discussion on Measure for Measure with Professor Shirley Mason, emerita of UNL; Dr. Anne Cognard of East High School in Lincoln; and Stephen Buhler.

Our Youth Education programs center on fully staged adaptations of Shakespeare's plays. In 2006, versions of The Comedy of Errors and Romeo and Juliet were presented at the Swan Theatre in Lincoln, making use of the sets used for the main productions of each play.
