Planning is underway for the 22nd year of Winters Shakespeare Workshop (WSW), a 5-week summer acting camp for Winters’ teens sponsored by the Winters Friends of the Library.
This year’s workshop will take place in the evenings from June 18 to July 20 and end with two public performances of a musical William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” at 8 p.m. on July 21 and July 22 on the Winters City Park playground stage.
WSW provides training and experience in acting, voice, and movement for teens aged 13 to 19. Preteens (ages 9-12) may sign up for the WSW Dance Team. The Dance Team provides dance instruction for preteens who are interested in a special dance performance during the two public performances.
All participants will present the free public performances with a live band, lights and dancers. Winters Community Park comes to life each July when the wooden playground stage is given over to a production that shows off the hard work of teen performers and preteen dancers.
Teens interested in acting or theater production, and preteens interested in dancing, will find more information at Winters Friends of the Library website wfol.org under the “Winters Shakespeare Workshop” tab or at https://tinyurl.com/ymmdjym4.
The website provides information about joining the summer magic including enrollment forms and scholarship information. Join WSW in creating this summer.
