The Fall Festival of Shakespeare
Each fall, the education department of Shakespeare & Company hosts a program called "The Fall Festival of Shakespeare". 10 high schools in Berkshire County, New York, central and eastern Massachusetts participate in this program. Teaching Artists and Technicians from the company come into the schools and work with the students to create 90 minute cuts of plays by Shakespeare. Each school has performances at their own venue, then all the plays are performed the weekend before Thanksgiving at Shakespeare & Co. The Fall Festival of Shakespeare is a non-competitive celebration of the students work. The festival just finished its twenty-fourth year.
