Syracuse Shakespeare-In-The-Park is still accepting applications for its 2021 theatre program for students in 5th through 12th grades, KIDS, (Kids Doing Shakespeare). Set for July 12th through 16th, 10 am to 3 pm daily, rookies and returning students will be taught together mainly outside Thornden Park’s Carriage House in cooperation with the Syracuse Parks, Recreation and Youth Programs Dept. and funding from B&C Storage and the Syracuse Teachers Association. We also have received a generous supporting grant from the Central New York Community Foundation (CNYCF). This exciting programming mix of speaking skills, stage techniques, costume design, set painting, Renaissance music & dance and English country dancing usually sells out quickly so don't delay. All students will perform some part of the chosen scene as a culminating activity on the last Friday of our intensive (but fun) theatre week. The scene will be selected from our 2021 Shakespeare-In-The-Park main stage show, The Comedy of Errors, Aug. 6th-15th, 2021 in Thornden Park's beautiful Amphitheatre. We are aiming for a class size of 15 students in order to accomodate social distancing needs.
