Atlanta Shakespeare Company

Our Educational programming includes our Shakespeare:60 series, and our Shakespeare Junior shows as well as in-class Playshops, school-day Residencies, Summer camps for rising 2nd to rising 8th grade, and in-house homeschool "Shakesploration" Days. Our 60-minute digital productions include R&J:60, Macbeth:60 and Othello. We offer digital study guides for every core curriculum play and provide professional learning workshops for teachers. During 2024-2025, we offered student matinee performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Benedetto Robinson's Dracula, the Failings of Man, Hamlet, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night and Claire F. Martin's Pride and Prejudice. We employed five Interns/assistant teachers in our summer camp and teen summer programming. The Apprentice Company, our professional training program, employed eight Apprentices, typically young artists who are within five years of undergraduate training. This program runs from September to April, and the Apprentices take classes in Acting, Shakespearean Text, Stage Combat, Voice for the stage, and other essential professional Theater Skills. They perform professionally on the Main Stage, understudy certain roles, and the program culminates with an evening of Shakespeare scenes, music and stage combat, performed for friends, family, Tavern staff and the public.
