Shakespeare
School Tour
SHAKESPEARE SCHOOL TOURS
Each year The Acting Company produces a new Shakespeare production to tour through New York City’s middle and high schools. Although truncated, these productions use Shakespeare’s original language in conjunction with music, dance, song, and remarkable acting to engage students of all ages. Each performance includes a post-show discussion with the performers and is accompanied by our signature education programs: Learning Through Theater and Shakespeare for Teachers.
Each year this program expands, playing for more dates and for more students. If you would like to see if we can bring our next production to your school, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
2026-27 Tour: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
This year’s national tour has been specifically designed so that it can be performed in 1,000 seat professional presenting houses and high school cafeterias, and everything in between. With a carefully designed school version that is only 75 minutes long and can be performed in any 20’ x 20’ space, you can bring this world-class production straight to your students on their home turf.
