Join us for a week of speaking the speech, suiting action to word and word to action, and holding the mirror up to nature - Shakespeare style! 

 

Open to students in grades 6-12, the CMS Youth Company (YOCO) will immerse themselves in the world of Shakespeare. Under the guidance of professional actors and teaching artists (from Broadway, Off-Broadway, Yale, and more), participants will explore the depth of Shakespeare’s verse, learn how to bring it to life on stage, try their hand at stage combat, source costumes and props, and even dive into the rhythm of Elizabethan song and dance. The week will culminate in an outdoor, abridged performance of the hilarious The Comedy of Errors, showcasing their hard work and passion for the craft.
