Educational Outreach The South Carolina Shakespeare Company has a number of educational opportunities from our Summer Camp for kids ages 7-17 years old to in house residencies for elementary, middle and senior high schools. Educational programs are an important component of the company's mission. In addition to their main stage productions performed in Columbia's city parks, Shakespeare on Tour has performed for high schools and universities throughout the state. Following each show, the company provides detailed study guides, acting workshops and open forums for a full exploration of Shakespeare and his works. The company also has encouraged participation from children in actual productions ranging from The Tempest to A Midsummer Night's Dream, providing an artistic and educational foundation for area youth. Cultural unity and cooperation is also a high priority for the company. An alliance with Benedict College for A Christmas Carol met with great success, and the company has performed in conjunction with other statewide arts organizations such as the International Shakespeare Festival at Clemson University. The company also was selected to perform at the internationally renowned Piccolo Spoleto Arts Festival in Charleston in a series of sold-out performances. |
