Nevada Shakespeare Comes To Dayton Intermediate School
Shakespeare Company and Gold Hill Theater brought their fast-paced, interactive program, Shakespeare In School, to Donna Anderson's 6th grade English class at Dayton Intermediate School recently.
Teaching Artists Michele Crain and Chris Willson involved the students in skits that brought Shakespeare's Kate and Petruchio from Taming of the Shrew to life. They also explained the historical setting of the play, and involved the entire class in a series of theatre games. Crain, a certified Nevada teacher with 10 years experience teaching in Nevada, designed the lessons.
In the last 12 years, Shakespeare In School has served more than 132,000 Nevada students throughout the state with support from the Cord Foundation, DP Foundation, Hawkins Foundation, John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, Nevada Humanities and Nevada Arts Council.
Want them to come to your school or rural community? Call or email Michele Crain: (775) 315-8680; theaterbabee@gmail.com.
