Summer Camp Shakespeare

Hello U-Hubbers,

I know some of us still have snow on the ground and summer time seems like a far away midsummer night's dream. But I thought I'd throw this out there in case some of you are looking for a summer program for your kid(s) that is a little different/interesting/unique than the average summer camp program.

Rebel Shakespeare Company is located in Salem MA and this year we find our enrollment for July and August is a lot lower than it usually is (ie: by now we're usually full with a waiting list).

So this could be your opportunity if you're looking for something different for the summer activities. Our regular program is for kids aged 9-15, and no acting experience is needed. Everyone is taught, learns, explores, grows. In July we're doing "Romeo and Juliet" with this age group, and in August we're either doing "Hamlet" or "A Comedy of Errors," depending on the enrollment. Our Teen program is doing "The Scottish Play"... ahem, in July. And in August, "The Tempest." The Teen program is usually for kids who have had acting experience, and we take a tour around the north shore and Boston doing 10 shows in a week's time. It's a great adventure.

Boston Harbor Islands...

Sadly, I've never been to the Boston Harbor Islands in the 20 something years I've lived on the North Shore.

This summer, our Shakespeare teen group did Romeo and Juliet all around the north shore. I'm already planning on next summer... and the Harbor Islands as a destination to bring the show to seemed intriguing.

I believe we're doing Hamlet in August, and Twelfth Night in July. The island destination for Twelfth Night would be pretty awesome...

But I don't know anything ABOUT the islands.

If you've been there, like it, hate it, think it'd be awesome to have an outdoor Shakespeare show there ... send me your feedback. It may spur me on or steer me clear. But I would love to know what your impressions of the islands are.

Sooz has one word: go:

... The Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's production of Hamlet is not only free but it's outstanding! ...
