"There is much matter to be heard and learned."
As You Like It
You're never too young to get started with the Bard. The Play's the Thing,
Shakespeare for Kids offered by Douglas County Libraries in July, provides children an opportunity to learn about the drama of William Shakespeare. The staff of the Denver Center Theatre Academy will use improvisation, character-work and text analysis to bring Shakespeare's work to life for kids ages 7-12.
