"The teaching artists were a great inspiration to my students. It was surprising to see some of my students attempt to perform. Others truly seemed to benefit from the direction given to their readings." -Teacher

"I enjoyed working with my students under the direction of people steeped in experience and knowledge of the works. I also enjoyed (and so did the students) observing them assume roles and step into character. The main benefit was having career actors re-affirm what I teach my students." -Teacher

"This is my favorite week of each semester! My students and I learn so much and we ENJOY the learning process!" -Teacher

"Acting out The Tempest was pretty cool."-Student

"Attending the three plays helped students understand the demands of Shakespearean actors. The residency program was an additional bonus. Your program absolutely made my Shakespeare class a success in its first year!"-Teacher

Residencies are available for a variety of plays: Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, The Taming of the Shrew, and an Introduction to Shakespeare—great for younger students.  To schedule a residency or to find out more, please contact Lucy Tobin, Director of Education, at 215.496.9722 or at lucy@phillyshakespeare.org.
