Description

An exclusive, completely interactive elementary school show! "All the World's a Stage" is designed exclusively for elementary schools and will perhaps give your students their first exposure to the world of Shakespeare, as well as creating a vivid portrait of London, England in Shakespeare's time. We will also briefly touch upon 2 of Shakespeare's most famous plays in an easy-to-understand light-hearted way.
The show is also extremely interactive with lots of participation from the students who interact with each other and with the actor. They will be called upon to become the most famous characters in history! Costumes, sound, props...this show has everything!
