Meeting ASF's Mission as a "life-long learning center."
Students and teachers from throughout the South meet the Bard and many other playwrights by attending SchoolFest, week-day morning matinees with discounted student tickets for school groups. Research has shown that arts education encourages high achievement, builds creative problem solving and analytical skills, refines judgment, and stimulates "thinking outside the box." Students exposed to theatre are often more confident and creative and develop a life-long appreciation of language. Come! Enjoy! Learn!
Alfa

Camp
Shakespeare
Don't waste your summer feeling your brain cells die. ASF offers Camp
Shakespeare for students ages 10 - 12 and the Teen Summer Shakespeare
Intensive for ages 13 - 18. These one-week Camps in July culminate in a
spectacular student performance on an ASF stage. As one parent wrote,
"It's a wonderful thing to see your child get really excited about
Shakespeare and the theatre. . . He said it was better than Disney
World, and that says it all." Early registration is advised.
Whatever your interest in education, ASF has what you are looking for! For more information, contact Andy Collins (334.271.5345) or Greta Lambert (334.271.5393) in the education department.
