  Performing Shakespeare Online and Such
   
  Performing Shakespeare and Such Online 12-up Kelly has been teaching Shakespeare for 20 years. She has taught kids in Germany who spoke very little English, she has taught in inner city classrooms in Los Angeles and Detroit, in fancy schools and theaters in Beverly Hills and Hollywood, she has even taught in the middle of the woods, and now she has spent the last few months learning how to teach and direct Shakespeare on Zoom. Students will get to play fun interactive improv games with their friends, learn about the Bard and even perform a play for friends and family online. Older students will either tackle a Shakespearean play or work on monologues, classical or contemporary, that would be useful for audition purposes, should they want to pursue other theatrical opportunities. Classes will be held at 1pm on Wednesdays staring on September 16th.
