SHORT SHAKES

Short Shakes is an after-school program that equips students to rehearse and perform their own (shortened) version of a classic play! Directed by a professional teaching artist, students dig into the language, develop their characters, and ultimately perform on the main Seattle Shakespeare stage... The Short Shakes play is often a shortened version of the play being performed on the main stage. Students get to share the same set and enjoy a company potluck dinner where they can meet and talk with the adult counterparts playing the same roles. Short Shakes is a unique opportunity to act out your student's dreams!... Our combined programs - which include indoor performances, free outdoor productions, regional tours, educator and youth programs - reach across barriers of income, geography, and education to bring classical theatre to Washington State.
