SUMMER CONSERVATORY CAMP
Our Shakespeare Conservatory will return in 2024 with both a 3-week and 2-week training option! Classes will take place safely outside at the Bruns Amphitheater next summer for grades 6-12. Students will develop and improve their performative skills by studying with Bay Area experts in such areas as Acting, Voice, Movement, Text Analysis and more, all while rehearsing one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays for a performance on the Bruns stage!
