SGCHS Studnents Enjoy Outstanding Performance

Shakespeare in the Schools came to Sweet Grass County High School this week on Monday October 24.  They put on an outstanding show.  Costumes, prompts, and characters were all wonderful.  As You Like It was the Shakespeare play performed by this group and it turned out to be ideal for this school; it left the whole auditorium laughing, gasping, and craving more.  When asked about their feelings on the play, one SGHS student replied without pause, “I loved it. It was funny and the acting was phenomenal.”

Shakespeare in the Schools performing As You Like It

            Following the stupendous performance, the actors gave advice about acting and taught the students about various areas of performing.  Many students participated in the workshops put on by the Shakespeare in the Schools group.  Language, friends, banishment, and stage combat were the four different workshops taught.  In the short time frame they had to teach, their students made progress and had a blast doing so.  

            By the end of the day all who had come had a better appreciation for Shakespeare, acting, and plays.  It is obvious this event was very beneficial for SGCHS’s students.  Sweet Grass County High School appreciates the time and energy Shakespeare in the Schools put into the performance on Monday.  Thank you, Shakespeare in the Schools, for coming to Big Timber!
