St. Louis Shakespeare Festival Camps

Sessions: June 2-27, 2025

En Guarde! Join the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival community for our 25th year of Shakespeare in Forest Park!

The Summer Shakespeare Studio returns as a full-day, two-week camp open to ages 9-13 and 14-19 hosted at the Grand Center Arts Academy. 

The enrollment deadline is May 16, 2025.

Each morning, students will train with Shakespeare Festival Teaching Artists – engaging with Shakespearean scripts, stagecraft, and stage combat (en guarde!) Students will exercise their voice and movement skills, developing the same techniques used by professional performers to bring complex texts to life! 

After lunch, students will rehearse with their peers, preparing an abridged production of either Macbeth or Twelfth Night (for ages 9-13) and Hamlet or As You Like It (for ages 14-19). These will be performed for family and friends on the mainstage at Shakespeare’s Glen in Forest Park (June 13 and 27). 

Session 1: June 2-13 (Monday-Friday, 9-4 p.m.)
Session 2: June 16-27 (Monday-Friday, 9-4 p.m.)

Pricing: $850 per student per session or $1,500 for a full month.
