Welcome to “Shakespeare For Our Children.” Please check out more about our Program and Resources here, and learn more about our aims at About This Blog.
So – why does Shakespeare matter now? Why start this blog? To put it simply, we at “Shakespeare For Our Children” believe in the timelessness of his work – and we also believe that it is never too soon to start teaching children about the Bard of Avon!
With his profound understanding of human nature, Shakespeare crafted compelling dramas the likes of which had never been seen. Nor have they been seen since.
Not unlike the wisdom of Solomon and the Proverbs of the Bible, Shakespeare’s words are used frequently to this day to illustrate the basic truths of our universal experience. Illuminating the human condition by revealing our virtues and foibles, Shakespeare has enhanced the awareness we have of ourselves.
It is, ultimately, in respectful celebration of this artist and his vision that we welcome you into the world of “Shakespeare For Our Children.” Here we can learn, and grow – and have fun!
