Shakespeare is Back! Fourfold Initiative September 21, 2019

Announcement

We were very sorry that the Florence turmoil of last September caused us to cancel our annual contest. But we are happy to announce that for the 2019-2020 program year, our contest will be turned into a multi-part initiative.

1. September 21 – Teacher Training with American Shakespeare Center, an all-day event at Craven Community College for high school English and Drama Teachers.

2. March 7, 2020 – A Double Day of Shakespeare: First, the High School Regional Shakespeare Contest with the winner earning a trip to the National Finals in New York. Then the Fifth Annual Shakespeare Dinner, our fundraiser with food and drink interspersed with scenes from The Bard.

3. Teachers who participate in the training and enter a student in the contest will be eligible to apply for the first ever Colonial NC Branch TLab Scholarship to study in the UK in Summer 2020.
