 Designed as an exciting, high-energy introduction to the most well known works of Shakespeare, Shakespeare To Go brings a team of actors to North Carolina area schools, performing edited versions of entire plays. Shakespeare To Go provides performance experiences of Shakespeare's world and work, created especially for students. Performed by young, enthusiastic, professional actors, Shakespeare To Go also offers workshops designed to get student audiences up on their feet, experiencing the magic of speaking and performing the Bard for themselves!
 Shakespeare To Go features direct audience contact between actor and audience - literally. Actors incorporate the student audience into every performance, giving students the valuable experience of both observing and participating in a live performance of the Bard's work. The program offers minimal use of set and costumes, sharing with students a primary focus on the language of Shakespeare, while also allowing performances to take place in almost any venue a school can offer. The program encourages its audience to use its imagination and sense of play, as actors double and triple the roles they perform in any given production. THE 2012 TOUR: February-April 2012
