Our four person Backyard Bard ensemble will be performing 1 hour long adaptations of fan favorite Comedy of Errors and the spellbinding fairy tale Cymbeline, both directed by GreenStage Artistic Director Erin Day.

Additional Discounts Available for Summer Camps! 

GreenStage’s educational programs support the values of successful learning and include summer shows for ages 5-17. Our theatre camps take each student on a personal journey through the world of Shakespeare. Their natural imaginations will be embraced and nurtured as their ability to focus and work as a team increases. All offerings focus on positive reinforcement and esteem building skills as our young artists explore Shakespeare’s mind-expanding concepts and beautiful world vision. Our instructors create supportive environments in the beauty of the Seattle area parks where we have been staging our professional shows since 1989. Each week-long camp ends with a FREE performance (picnic recommended) in the parks for family and friends.
