Global Hamlet: Philadelphia, PA, USA – Philly ALC

In September 2018, Global Hamlet arrived in Philadelphia, PA. And while there, we had the pleasure to meet, as well as work with students at Philly ALC and the homeschool community. Below, are photographs from Episode 3 as the players learned theatre methods, production, but above all, about the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare.

Take a moment to visit their website.

BLOG POST EXCERPT

Here is an excerpt from the blog post.

Lest you think otherwise, I should point out that a perfect film is not the focus of this project. Instead, we are showcasing youth around the world playing with Shakespeare. A point often overlooked, William Shakespeare is the world’s third-most translated author. Evidently, if we want to reach true global impact, a Global Agatha Christi is in order. However, she doesn’t appear on as many assigned reading lists for young people.

For more information about our time in Philadelphia, and what we learned while there, read the blog post, Global Hamlet with Philly ALC, Philadelphia PA, USA.

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.
