<p ><strong><em>Free
Shakespeare in the Park</em></strong> now
presents professional productions of the Bard’s great plays in Bay Area public
parks completely free of charge. Each summer, the selected play runs from July
through September, visiting Pleasanton’s Amador Park
and Cupertino’s Memorial Park before its
traditional Labor Day weekend opening in San
Francisco’s Presidio. Nearly 25,000 people around the Bay Area attend one of the 23
performances, often sharing a picnic on the lawn with family, friends, and
neighbors prior to the show. As its name
implies, <em>Free Shakespeare in the Park</em>
generates no ticket revenue and is supported entirely by civic, foundation,
corporate, and individual contributions.</p>
Program Long-Term Success:
We brought 29 high-quality professional productions of Free Shakespeare in the Park to over 29,000 audience members in San Francisco, Pleasanton, Cupertino, and San Mateo.

<p ><strong><em>Shakespeare
On Tour</em></strong> is the Festival’s statewide,
in-school touring program which brings live professional theatre directly to
students throughout California. A different play is selected each school year
and performed in an abridged format of 55 minutes, designed to fit into a
traditional class period. <em>Tour</em> productions are colorful, musical,
and exciting. The<em> Tour </em>troupe of five professional actors travels the state in a van
emblazoned with the Festival logo, bringing sets, props, costumes, and recorded
music, which is often specially commissioned for the production. The Tour performs primarily at middle and
high schools, but also visits many elementary schools as well as community
colleges, libraries, and community centers from October to April. Since its inception in 1988, the Tour has
visited between 150 and 350 schools per year from San Diego
to Susanville, serving more than 2,000,000 California students. Our hands-on Playshops
deepen the experience for an increasing number of students. The Festival’s
full-time professional Education Director directs and supervises the tour, and
develops a three-week curriculum guide indexed to state arts education
standards as a valuable teaching resource.</p>

<p ><strong><em>Midnight
Shakespeare</em></strong> offers at-risk youth
in under-served urban neighborhoods the opportunity to learn literature,
communication skills, performance skills, discipline and teamwork through the
study and performance of Shakespeare. Inspired by the renowned Midnight Basketball program, the goal of <em>Midnight Shakespeare</em> is to provide
constructive and productive activities for at-risk youth during non-school
hours in communities where few such opportunities exist. Current <em>Midnight Shakespeare</em> locations include
the Civicorps Schools
in West Oakland, Morrill Middle School in San Jose’s
Berryessa district, Cadwallader Elementary School in San Jose’s
Evergreen neighborhood, and Burton High School in San Francisco’s
Visitacion Valley. More than 100 young people
participated in the 2008 sessions.</p>

<p ><strong><em>Bay
Area Shakespeare Camps</em></strong> provide
young people ages 4-18 with the opportunity to explore Shakespeare’s plays in a
fun, supportive atmosphere while learning the skills necessary to perform them.
Each two-week session is taught by skilled teachers and artists who instruct
youngsters in morning workshops such as Voice and Movement, Production and
Design, and Discovering Shakespeare. Skills learned are applied in their
afternoon rehearsals of a Shakespeare play, which they perform on the last day
of camp for family and friends. More
than 800 children participate in the Camps each year. Thirty-five sessions at all ability levels
were presented at various locations around the Bay Area in 2008.</p>
