Update April 6: Colorado Shakespeare Festival educational programs and campus have been postponed until summer 2021 because of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The Colorado Shakespeare Festival offers Shakespeare’s Sprites, a playful introduction to the Bard for ages 6–9, on campus at CU Boulder. Discover the fun of Shakespeare through pool-noodle fights, Elizabethan costumes, period insults, Renaissance songs and lively scene work. Each week culminates in a final showing for family and friends. 

This program is the perfect way to instill a love of language and theatre in your child. Students enrolled in Shakespeare’s Sprites should have basic reading skills. 

Sign up for either or both weeks!

Week 1: July 6–10, 9 a.m. to noon
Week 2: Aug. 3–7 | 9 a.m. to noon (full, wait list available)

Final performance: Friday of each week, 11:30 a.m.

Tuition is $235 per week. Tuition includes one ticket to attend CSF's performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream on July 19 at 7 p.m. CU faculty and staff can use coupon code "SPRITESBUFF2020" to save $25 on enrollment!
