Review for Shakespeare & Company, Inc., Lenox, MA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

This past fall, 2009, was the first time I attended Shakespeare & Company's Fall Festival of Shakespeare. I'd known that the organization had a history of working in high schools, but until this past fall, I hadn't seen for myself the impact that the organization makes on teenagers. What a treat to be in an audience of _Romeo and Juliet_ and see dozens of teenagers truly transfixed by watching their classmates on stage. And what was going on on stage was a remarkable display of creativity--making the story come alive.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

demonstrating for teenagers that there's a reason to read in general, Shakespeare in particular.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months

Role:  General Member of the Public & As a member of the audience, I always learn a lot--about a particular playwright and about stagecraft.
