Shakespeare’s Clowns is a Renaissance themed program designed to introduce young people to Shakespeare in a hands-on approach. The workshop is part poetry, pageantry, parade and play as students present scenes from Shakespeare’s work, learn the skills of the court jester (juggling, tumbling, stilt-walking), and develop better language proficiency skills and socialization techniques. Program ends with a performance by the students at the Hudson Opera House. For information, hudsonoperahouse.org.
