About Camp Will…
Camp Will is a weeklong workshop dedicated to the development of communication skills, language, and group social skills through the process of creative play and group scene work. Our goal is to nurture a young person’s ability to voice their opinions, communicate their thoughts, and ultimately, discover their creativity through ensemble work and the poetry of Shakespeare.
In 2020, Camp Will will be presented on Zoom, the video conferencing platform.
Daily Schedule
Each day begins with theater and improv games, followed by workshops highlighting specific theatre skills. We will meet directors, designers, and famous friends during an open discussion over break, followed by a mini talent show where campers can share their own work. Directed by a Door Shakespeare company member, groups will then go into breakout rooms for scene work. Younger students will work independently in separate ensembles to approach Shakespeare’s cannon through rhythm, playful language exercises, and Story Drama. Older students will work more intensely on vocal and physical techniques that enrich the meaning of Shakespeare’s text. All sessions are held online through Zoom video conferencing, and each session is organized and taught by professional actors from within Door Shakespeare’s company.
The camp culminates with students sharing their work in a “Green share” performance of scenes and monologues directed by professional actors. The scene will be filmed and edited in order to be shared on the Saturday following the end of each session.
Prior to Camp
The week before your session starts, you will receive a Camp Will Kit with tools for your session including scripts, support materials, props, and your Door Shakespeare t-shirt. Campers will have a little gift to open each day of the session. Some items will be used during the day’s workshop — others will be a little something to enjoy as a memory of working together.
Ages
9-17: Students entering 4th grade in the fall of 2020
Computer needs
Camp Will campers will need access to a computer or tablet with a camera, and the internet. Family members may share their devices.

The Family Fund
The Door Shakespeare Family Fund was initiated four years ago by a board member whose grandchild attended the Door Shakespeare Summer Camp. She had so much fun that her family decided to ensure many summers to come for children of all income levels. The Door Shakespeare Family Fund provides scholarships to students who otherwise would not be able to attend. Please consider a donation to the Family fund.
