Kids performing Shakespeare in the Park - my kids loved it
by ShakespeareFan at Citysearch
This group has been around for like twenty years. They recently moved to Salem and we've caught alot of their shows. It's great for the kids, as it's BY kids. All their shows are free to the public I think. At least the ones we've been to were. They perform right by the ocean in Salem, and sometimes in different spots around the city. Last year we saw Macbeth, which was really well done. They do a great job, right down to the costumes and set. My kids love it, even if they don't understand every word. The kids all seem to be pretty young, maybe elementary and middle school aged? Glad they moved to Salem...
- Pros: Free, fun, a great intro for kids, and it's right on the water.
- Cons: It's in the sun...so it gets pretty hot
