ACTING, IMPROVISATION, STORYTELLING, AND SHAKESPEARE FOR KIDS

    Since 2011, ImprovEd Shakespeare has been exploring the Bard with youth through theatrical performance. Each fall and spring, we develop a new Shakespeare production class for live performance. Our signature scripts are a mix of modern narration and the original Shakespearean verse. With a focus on the story, including an abbreviated script length, our productions entertain all ages.

    A NOTE ABOUT THE PRODUCTION: ImprovEd Shakespeare director, Andee Kinzy, openly admits that Romeo and Juliet is one of her least favorite of the bard’s plays. However, The Baron’s Men is performing the tragic love story in Austin this spring and there’s nothing like studying a Shakespeare play and then seeing a professional production of the same. But {sly grin} in true ImprovEd Shakespeare fashion, we’re giving the tale our own special twist.
