Summer Shakespeare Studio

Sessions: June 1-July 31, 2026

The St. Louis Shakespeare Festival’s summer intensives train passionate young actors from across the US interested in theater and drama in professional grade Shakespeare! 

Each morning, students train with the Shakespeare Festival’s team of professional actors and teaching artists — engaging with Shakespearean scripts, stagecraft, and stage combat (En Guarde!) to develop the same skills used by professional performers.

After lunch, students rehearse and perform abridged productions of Shakespeare shows: in 2026, our high school cohort will perform The Tempest, and our middle school cohort will perform Macbeth. 

Scholarship and Financial Aid available!
