Shakespeare For Kids

02/05/2026

We are thrilled to announce our 42nd Shakespeare for Kids season!

Shakespeare’s Renaissance era will once again manifest itself in song, dance, poetry, drama, art, gardening, fight choreography, juggling, music making, costuming and lively games throughout the morns all to culminate on the Bandshell Stage with a costumed Tudor Faire, hosted by the Queen and her favorite play write. With suggestions from the children and their collective Bard adventures, actors will begin play acting scenes from Shakespeare's 36 plays. There will be some text memorization, class rehearsal with peers, and practicing at home for the final performance. No previous acting experience is necessary. They needed only lights, action, and a bevy of Bard aficionados and talents to carry the days’ adventures.

All kids ages 5-13 are welcome and lunch will be provided to the campers everyday at 12:00 pm!

Camp Dates: July 6th to the 17th, 2026
Time: Monday-Friday, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm
Address: Moraga Commons Park - 1425 St Marys Rd, Moraga, CA 94556

Congratulations to John, a living treasure in our time.

The historical pageant, commissioned to celebrate San Francisco Opera's centennial, emerged broad, exciting and occasionally opaque in its world premiere.

Majestically unique!

The splendid recent staging of 'The Marriage of Figaro' at Opera San José transferred the action to a milieu one observer knew well — and the other not at all.

Touchless Temps will be taken every day at camp entrance, and masks will be worn coming and going.(sorry, if temp is 101*must return home.)
Purell will be stationed throughout the camp site, and we will follow the safety guidelines of California Shakespeare Theater.

Looking forward to being together again! Stay safe & well

A glorious proper Tea Party!
Finger sandwiches and good manners!

TEA PARTY TODAY!
The teddy bears taught the kids how to behave at a proper tea party! And all throughout lunch we heard, “pardon my reach!” And “Pardon me, would it trouble you to perhaps pass me the sugar?”.

I liked that a little bear explained, if someone asks you to pass something, pass it right away and do not serve yourself from it first! Great tips, little bear! 👍❤️
