Located in historic Staunton, Virginia, the American Shakespeare Center invites homeschooling families to immerse themselves in the world of Shakespeare during our Homeschool Day performances.
At the Blackfriars Playhouse, the world’s first recreation of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre, families can experience unforgettable matinee performances, engaging workshops, and post-show talkbacks that bring these classic stories to life.
Twelfth Night or what you will:
Shipwrecked and disguised, Viola stumbles into a love triangle that spirals out of control. Add wild parties, forged letters, and yellow stockings, and Twelfth Night becomes Shakespeare’s most mischievous comedy of mistaken identity.
