Workshops
Consider hosting one of our highly trained teaching artists for a workshop or residency!
Apocalyptic Artists’ pioneering teaching style introduces the world of the theater and Shakespeare through collaborative storytelling, embodied textwork, and performance. Our teaching artists simultaneously support classroom teachers in integrating Shakespeare into lesson plans across the curriculum while leaning on archetypal principles of character and story to deepen students' relationship to their peers and themselves.

Performances and School Tour
Every Spring, Apocalyptic Artists produces a school tour of a play by William Shakespeare. Employing minimal design and vibrant music, and supported by in-school workshops, a company of actors transforms familiar school spaces – classrooms, cafeterias, auditoriums - into the world of the play.
Past touring productions included Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
