High school students develop analytical and communication skills by performing Shakespeare at the school, community, and national levels. Since 1983 more than 425,000 students have brought the timeless works of Shakespeare to life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Competition helps students develop speaking and critical-thinking skills while they explore the beauty of the language and the timeless themes in Shakespeare&#8217;s works. By preparing a monologue and sonnet for public presentation, students bring Shakespeare to life in their own way and learn to express his works with understanding, clarity, and feeling. Approximately 600 teachers and 3,500 students in nearly 45 ESU branches participate each year. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Students perform and recite Shakespeare monologues and sonnets in three qualifying stages: school, branch, and National levels. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a Theatre, English, Forensics teacher, or administer a home school program, we encourage you to enter to give your students an opportunity to participate in this exciting competition. If you are an interested high school student, please alert your teachers to this valuable program.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>The 2025 Miami Branch Shakespeare Competition will take place on Wednesday, February 28, 2025&nbsp; at 7:30 pm at Gulliver Prep.<\/h4>\n                <\/div>\n            \n            \n\n                            <div class=\"buttons\">\n                                                                                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esuus.org\/what-we-do\/shakespeare-competition\/school-participation-form\/\" class=\"btn btn-solid btn-small\" target=\"_blank\">Register Your Miami Area High School<\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"program-details\" class=\"esu-basic-full-width\">\n\n    <div class=\"inner\">\n        <div class=\"wrapper\">\n\n                            <div class=\"tagline heading-5\">\n                    Program Details                <\/div>\n            \n                            <div class=\"title heading-2\">\n                    Everything You Need to Know to Get Started                <\/div>\n            \n            \n                            <div class=\"content\">\n                    <h4>Documents &amp; Forms<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All materials including the online school participation form, teacher and student handbooks, and packets of monologues and sonnets are <a href=\"\/what-we-do\/shakespeare-competition\/\"><strong>located here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Branch Contact<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact Miami Branch Competition Coordinator Jessica Fox for questions: <a href=\"mailto:jfox@gulliverprep.org\">jfox@gulliverprep.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            \n            \n\n                            <div class=\"buttons\">\n                                                                                                                                            <a href=\"\/what-we-do\/shakespeare-competition\/\" class=\"btn btn-solid btn-small\" target=\"_blank\">More information about NSC<\/a>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"history\" class=\"esu-basic-full-width\">\n\n    <div class=\"inner\">\n        <div class=\"wrapper\">\n\n                            <div class=\"tagline heading-5\">\n                    History                <\/div>\n            \n                            <div class=\"title heading-2\">\n                    Miami Shakespeare Competition                <\/div>\n            \n            \n                            <div class=\"content\">\n                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ESU National Shakespeare Competition has been recognized by the Globe Center (USA), the Children&#8217;s Theatre Foundation of America and the American Academy of Achievement.
