Kids & the Classics
"Kids & the Classics" is the companion piece to Hip to Hip's program of "Free Shakespeare in the Parks." This free interactive workshop is offered 30 minutes before every performance, and is designed for children ages 4 to 12. It gives children a chance to interact with the text by previewing the characters and situations, and creating links between the text and their own lives through theatre games and close reading of text.
AS YOU LIKE IT
Identities are lost and true selves are found in Shakespeare's beloved comedy. When the Duke's court proves cold and cruel, Rosalind, Celia, and their friends escape into the Forest of Arden – a place alive with joy, music, and unexpected possibilities.
MACBETH
Shakespeare's timeless tragedy delves into the corrosive effects of unchecked ambition. Tempted by a prophecy from three witches and encouraged by his wife, a great warrior murders his way to the throne only to discover power is fleeting without honor, love, and friends.
Programming made possible in part with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
