Teachers, Professors, and others with a deep interest in Shakespeare attend Teacher Seminars at the American Shakespeare Center. When you join us for a weekend at the Blackfriars Playhouse, you will discover the joy and accessibility of teaching Shakespeare. Led by our Shakespeare and Performance Teaching Professionals (including Co-Founder and Director of Mission Dr. Ralph Cohen, Director of Education Sarah Enloe, and our team of Education Artists), these hands-on seminars will ignite your passion for Shakespeare’s words, characters, and themes. Our practical approach will send you back to the classroom equipped to make Shakespeare’s 16th-century lessons engaging for your 21st-century students.

 

These play-specific seminars focus on making the language and theatrical elements of Shakespeare relevant and exciting in the classroom. You’ll leave with a toolbox of techniques to remove your students’ “ShakesFear” and replace it with enthusiasm to explore these timeless works.
