Seussified Shakespeare…where highbrow meets hilarious! What happens when Shakespeare’s iconic characters, plots, and poetry get a Dr. Seuss–style twist? Rhymes get wilder, language gets bolder, and serious drama meets delightful silliness. Students will rehearse mini-Shakespeare plays reimagined with rhyme, heightened characters, and imaginative staging. Along the way, teens build core acting skills—voice, movement, character development, and ensemble work—while learning to love Shakespeare’s language. The camp culminates in a lively performance for friends and family on the final day, giving students the chance to step into the spotlight with confidence and creativity.

Serious meets silly, the spotlight is bright—
So jump in the play and speak words with delight!
