With suggestions from the children and their collective Bard adventures, actors will begin play-acting scenes from Shakespeare's 36 plays. There will be some text memorization, class rehearsal with peers, and practicing at home for the final performance. No previous acting experience is necessary. They needed only lights, action, and a bevy of Bard aficionados and talents to carry the days’ adventures.
