Goodbye, CYMBELINE. Hello, FOOL-ISH!

The People’s Shakespeare Project thanks the hundreds of you who attended our production of Cymbeline at West Art!

We hope that this very unique production’s sights, scents, and sounds have lingered happily in your imagination as they have in ours.

Shakespeare himself would never have given us this haunting play, or his many other masterpieces, without the help of patrons. Likewise, TPSP cannot keep these remarkable works alive in Lancaster, PA on ticket sales alone. The abridgment of our run due to unforeseen circumstances makes forthcoming gifts to our company all the more appreciated!

DONATE TO THE PEOPLE’S SHAKESPEARE PROJECT!

Tickets are now on sale for Fool-ish!

Three of Shakespeare’s fools find themselves stranded on a desert island, each with their own “baggage.” They must adapt to this new reality or find a way off the island, using the only tools at hand: music, wit, words, and play. It may be a fool’s errand, but they will discover a purpose.

This world premiere play will be produced in the more intimate upstairs theatre space at West Art.

Registration for Camp Will 2024 is open!

Summer 2024 marks the 16th year of our beloved Shakespeare education summer camp. Rising 6th-12th grade students have a three-week training session provided by skilled instructors. Acting and specialty workshops make up the first half of the day, followed by afternoon rehearsals of a Shakespearean play.

The program culminates in a performance open to the public, including family and friends.

This year, campers will study, rehearse and perform an abridged version of Shakespeare’s Richard III. This process will immerse students not only in performing Shakespeare, but in the historical and social context of his writing.

Camp runs Monday through Friday, June 10-28, from 9 am – 3 PM (OFF on Wednesday, June 19 for Juneteenth).

TUITION: *$500.00 – Must be paid in full no later than 6/10. A $250 deposit will reserve your child’s spot.

AS SOON AS YOU AS A PARENT/GUARDIAN PAY THE TUITION OR TUITION DEPOSIT, WE WILL CONTACT YOU VIA EMAIL TO COLLECT SOME BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CAMPER (GRADE LEVEL, T-SHIRT SIZE, ETC.)

Financial aid opportunities are available. Contact me for details: jeremiah@peoplesshakespeareproject.org
