Global Hamlet: San Francisco, CA, USA – Mission Graduates

In the summer of 2018, Global Hamlet began a worldwide tour. The first stop on our journey was with the students of Mission Graduates in San Francisco, California, USA. As you can see from the photographs, we had a wonderful time. Below, are images from our time with the novice players as they learned theatre methods, production, and above all, about the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare. Enjoy our Gallery of photographs from Episode 2.

BLOG POST EXCERPT

Here is an excerpt from the blog post.

Remember the original plan was to find Global Hamlet participants through my own network of friends and family? Straightaway, it was already working! Accordingly, a family connection introduced me to an after-school program in San Francisco. Although it was the very first weeks of a new school term, Mission Graduates invited me to work with a stellar group of 7-8-year-old students. Consequently, we had a one-hour time slot for eight consecutive after-school days.

SHAKESPEARE FOR KIDS

Since 2011, ImprovEd Shakespeare has been exploring the Bard with youth through theatrical performance. Our signature scripts are a mix of modern narration plus original Shakespeare verse. With a focus on the story, including an abbreviated script length, our productions entertain all ages. Moreover, our catalog goes beyond the oft-used Midsummer Night’s Dream, or Romeo and Juliet. We’ve discovered that young people find much to their delight among many of Shakespeare’s works. Consider subscribing to our YouTube channel for family-friendly Shakespeare videos.

PERFORMANCES

Each fall and spring, ImprovEd Shakespeare develops a new production for live performance. In honor of the traditional Renaissance traveling troupe, during a period of a few weeks, we present Kid-friendly plays at various venues around town. Our Players, between 3rd-12th grade, gear themselves with playful, as well as engaging interpretations of works by the Bard of Avon. Suitable for all ages, each performance runs for about an hour.

Furthermore, these shows are always FREE. However, we gladly accept Donations! Additionally, visit ImprovEd Shakespeare, Shakespeare for Kids by Kids on Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter. And don’t forget to click on our BLOG for the stories behind these productions.
