Chapin School Princeton Students Experience Shakespeare!

It was an all-day event filled with school performances, critique from professional theatre directors, and fun Shakespeare activities led by a Master of the Revels. Chapin students bravely volunteered to go up on stage and improvise Shakespeare in front of an audience. The entire day was a celebration of a love for Shakespeare's work.

Chapin students not only performed on a professional stage, but they also had the great opportunity to watch performances of Taming of the Shrew, Macbeth, King John, Romeo & Juliet, Midsummer, and various scenes.

The Chapin Middle School students were the youngest kids there, as a majority of the performers were in high school. The kids did an awesome job performing their play: "The Most Lamentable Comedy and the Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe!" They received a standing ovation, three Chapin thespians won awards, and Chapin School won the top award of the day: "Spirit of the Festival Award.”
