Syracuse Shakespeare-In-The-Park is now accepting applications for its 2018 theatre program entitled, “Kids Doing Shakespeare,” (KIDS) set for July 9-13, 2018, 10 am to 3 pm daily, for students in grades 5 thru 12.   

Our application is available in downloads.  Cost is $125 through Memorial Day, 5/28/18.  The next day we return to our full price of $144!

Rookies and returning students will be taught together in Thornden Park’s Carriage House in cooperation with the Syracuse Parks, Recreation & Youth Programs Dept. and the John Ben Snow Foundation.  

This exciting programming mix of speaking skills, stage techniques, costume design, set painting, Renaissance music & dance  and English country dance usually sells out quickly so don’t delay.  

All students will perform some part of the chosen scene, as a culminating activity for family, friends & the public, on the last Friday of our intensive (but fun) theatre week. 

The scene will be selected from our 2018 main stage SSITP production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, Aug. 3-12th, in Thornden Park's beautiful Amphitheatre.
