Kids get in the act at Bay Area Shakespeare Camp! Convenient locations in Cupertino, San Mateo, Burlingame, Pacifica, Los Altos, Palo Alto, Pacifica, and Santa Clara.

This fun and exciting program is designed for anybody ages 7-18 who is interested in acting and performance - prior experience welcome but not required.

Two-week camps meet weekdays, 9-3 pm (optional aftercare available for ages 7-13 camps until 5:30 pm) and provide a complete theatrical experience, with training and experience in Shakespeare's rich language, acting and improvisation, voice and movement technique, stage combat, set and costume design, and more! All star in an abridged Shakespeare performance, staged for family and friends on the final day of camp.

Through a series of fun and interactive activities newcomers to the stage will experience the thrill of their first performance; those who have acted before will hone and expand their dramatic skills.

Teaching artists are trained theater professionals - actors, directors, and educators. All utilize our highly effective curriculum, proven successful in engaging children with Shakespeare and theater for 18 years! Scripts, materials, and supplies for the performance are all included.

Our strongest endorsement comes from the campers themselves; many are repeats from prior sessions or friends of camper who also want to get in the act. A camp parent writes, "The camp helped my daughter appreciate the richness of Shakespeare's writing and to understand the plot details of the chosen play. This will be the 4th year that Shakespeare Camp has been on her 'must do' summer list!"
