The educational touring wing of The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, Shakespeare LIVE! has performed for nearly 500,000 students in New Jersey, New York and beyond. Since its inception in 1997, its abridged productions have been hailed as innovative, visually stunning and accessible to students. Despite the abbreviated length of each play, LIVE! prides itself on keeping Shakespeare's language intact. The professionally-acted and directed productions are dynamic and appealing, exciting and engaging, witty and imaginative—giving students of all ages the opportunity to experience Shakespeare's works as the playwright intended—in performance.
In-depth study guides and post-performance discussions complete the learning experience! Follow the links above for the 2012 Shakespeare LIVE! study guides, or you can view guides from previous seasons by clicking HERE.
