🎭💸 Financial Literacy Meets Shakespearean Storytelling

This week, The Young Shakespeareans welcomed Brandon Seeto and Christopher Howland from .bank to speak with our summer students at — and what a session it was!

Together, we explored how confidence, curiosity, and creativity aren’t just tools on stage — they’re tools for life. From budgeting basics to big dreams, our students asked powerful questions and walked away with practical knowledge and renewed purpose.
