The Bermuda Shakespeare Schools Festival

October 3, 2013

Giving high school students interested in the dramatic arts the opportunity to perform in a professional theatre and technical environment, the Bermuda Shakespeare School Festival will be held later this month under the patronage of Governor George Ferguson and Mrs. Ferguson.

This multi-day event will feature several plays performed, each of them one of Shakespeare’s works, with the goal of stimulating a greater awareness of theatre and dramatic performance in Bermuda’s youths.
