At the conclusion of each play, we will have a party school to celebrate the play which will include a theatrical version of the play.

What is in an Online Book Club?
Rabbit Trails
We will go on rabbit trails of discovery. We will hop off the traditional roads of literature studies and meander down paths about pop-culture, history, biographies, poetry, music and more. We will take deep dives into some of the subjects touched on in the in plays and broaden our minds with new adventures.
Magic Dust
We will also bring literature to life by sprinkling a bit of magic dust along the way. These hands-on projects will take us into the plays through science, art, games and more. We will touch, see, feel and learn about the book through the activities.
Play Time!!
The pinnacle of the Shakespeare Book Club experience is the live performance! At the end of each literature study, we will celebrate by attending a theatrical performance. If a performance isn't available in your area, we include options for watching a recorded performance.
