We deliver first-class Shakespearean performances and workshops for your school across the state. Now playing: Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, right in your school’s parking lot. We are hopeful to return to schools in spring 2021! Please check back for updates.
Shakespeare in the Parking Lot is exactly what it sounds like: an abridged performance of Romeo & Juliet or A Midsummer Night’s Dream that takes place in and around our pick-up truck “set” that we drive to your school’s parking lot. Performances are followed by an in-class, interactive workshop that helps students connect themes of the play to contemporary issues and the high school experience.
We are hopeful to return to schools in spring 2021! Please send us a message if you are interested in knowing more and please check back for updates. Read all of the program details in the Shakespeare In the Parking Lot Information Packet.
“This unique approach breaks out of the physical theatre and directly delivers the show to students in an outdoor, non-traditional playhouse experience that introduces thousands of students across the region to the theatre arts”
This project is part of Shakespeare in American Communities, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest
DCPA Education programs like this bring the transformative power of theatre to students wherever they are, removing barriers of geography or resources. Your one-time gift can help us reach more students statewide with arts programs that fit their lives.
