Summer Theatre Intensive 2009

Cape May Stage's "Summer SHAKESPEAREience"* gives budding actors, directors and technicians a unique opportunity to experience the world of theatre firsthand, by producing and performing classic works by one of the greatest playwrights in history--William Shakespeare!

This summer's production, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, features a story of scheming villains, bumbling constables and smart-mouthed romantic rivals--where the witty insults fly back and forth almost as fast as Cupid's arrows!

Enjoy a full-scale performance for parents and the public on the final day of the camp!




MISSION
Don"As long as humans have existed, we have told stories. Stories to entertain us, teach us, make us laugh, make us think, make us experience something new. In a world of technology and progress, that tradition still continues even today. It is a part of who we are. And out of all the ways stories can be told, the most inspiring is that of live theatre. Actors take words written on a piece of paper and turn them into believable characters, exciting conflicts, and surprising situations.

Our Education Outreach Programs give students chance to experience theatre in all its forms firsthand, to learn not just by sitting back and watching, but by doing. By being directly involved in the exploration and production of live theatre, young people not only get a taste for what goes into the creation of art, they also develop stronger communication skills, broaden their intellectual and cultural awareness, and, perhaps most importantly..create their own stories to tell."

- Message from Education Outreach Coordinator Donald Toal
