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

Rating: 5 stars  

My kids have been involved with the Fall Festival of Shakespeare for the last 4 years and it has helped, in a large part, in making them what they are today - which is confident, smart and capable.
The program is intense and thorough in studying and understanding the works, language and times of Shakespeare. The self-confidence that is gained by all the kids is nothing short of amazing.
The advantage that the in-depth education of Shakespeare's works gives these students in their regular studies in high school is indisputable. They do better on exams as reported by their teachers.
Our school is one of two in NY that participates in the Fall Festival of Shakespeare. We are proud to be part of the program.

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

my kids' participation in the Fall Festival of Shakespeare.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

only try to figure out a way to make it less expensive. Though the program is worth every penny paid, it is hard to raise the money necessary on an annual basis.
