What the Critics Say…

”Shakespeare for Kids is a splendid concept for stimulating imagination in youth, inspiring interaction with great literature, stimulating an active response as the children learn, share and perform together with their fellows, at the most beneficial age.”

~Robert Commanday, President, Music Critics of No America and Canada; Founder, SFCV (San Francisco Classical Voice website)

“It’s positively joyous!”

~ Dr. Levi Fox, Shakespearean Scholar; Director Emeritus of The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon.

 

“What a treasure is your program! If only all children could be exposed, through such an opportunity, to one of the greatest literary figures of all time.  I have always said how much we underrate the capacity of the young, growing human brain. You have proven that, given the opportunity to stretch their abilities, the children can reach remarkable heights in producing such quality Shakespeare plays.”

~Dr. Marian C Diamond, Professor, Integrative Biology, UC Berkeley; Director Emeritus, Lawrence Hall of Science.
