Global Hamlet | Repercussion & Geordie Theatre | Montreal

At Global Hamlet, we are always on the move. Hence, in another exploration of The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, ImprovEd Shakespeare embarked on a visit to our neighbor to the north, Canada. Now, we share with you a gallery of photographs during our time with Repercussion Theatre and the Geordie Theatre. Both companies are based in Montreal, Quebec.

Take a moment to visit their websites.

BLOG POST EXCERPT

Here is an excerpt from the blog post.

Undeniably, one should give more than a couple of week’s notice when trying to schedule a workshop tour involving Kids. Because, as many of us know, if working with children, then one should always expect the unexpected. In the ideal world, our plan would have been set before we departed Austin, Texas. But unfortunately, due to the nature of our travels, our schedule fluctuates somewhat unpredictably.

For more information about our time in Montreal, and what we learned while there, read the blog post, Global Hamlet – Wish You Were Here (Montreal Week 1).

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.
