Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, California Shakespeare Theater (Cal Shakes) will conduct one, full programmatic term of its Student Discovery Program, supporting a subsidized youth matinee series built around Cal Shakes’s 2025 production, THE TEMPEST, at its award-winning venue, The Bruns Memorial Amphitheater. This matinee series will be made accessible to Cal Shakes’s partner schools, and will involve complementary programming, including Interactive Study Guides, a picnic lunch and pre-show educational activities, and a Q&A with production actors.
Organization Summary
Cal Shakes brings together people from all walks of life to connect with our shared humanity through its work onstage, in schools, and in community. Our Main Stage season runs May – October at the outdoor, solar-powered Bruns Amphitheater. Artistic Learning programs engage young people through Student Discovery matinees at our Theater, our summer Conservatories, and theater-based artist-led residencies in classrooms. Artistic Engagement programs are developed in partnership with people from a wide range of communities to expand opportunity for the artist in everyone, claim and tell our own narratives through theater-based activities, and spark intersectional conversation around the plays on our stage.
