{Germantown, TN} -- Calling all “riotous youth” who want to play with Shakespeare outdoors and indoors this summer. 

Tennessee Shakespeare Company, the Mid-South’s professional, classical theatre, is offering two unique series of Summer Play Camps at The Hutchison School in Memphis for students entering grades 5-8 and for students entering grades 9-12. 

TSC also is auditioning for its inaugural Young Company to be held on the grounds of St. George’s Episcopal Church in Germantown for young adults aged 18-22. 

A limited number of need-based scholarships and internships are available.

“Double, double, toil and trouble!” Leap into the world of Shakespeare’s Macbeth with TSC’s professional actor-teachers. You'll be on your feet during his week-long exploration, living the world of the play. You’ll be among the witches greeting Macbeth on the heath, then you’ll be telling the very first “Knock, Knock” joke, and finally you’ll do battle in the moving woods of Dunsinane! You won’t believe how much fun you'll be having in this performance-based camp. No Shakespeare or theatre experience is necessary. Just come ready to play.
