The program was created to indoctrinate young New Yorkers into the joys of Shakespeare. Each show is followed by a moderated discussion. In collaboration with local arts and community organizations in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island, the operation begins with scene study and some schooling in Shakespearean language, and culminates with the free shows. For more information on Shakespeare in the Boroughs, call (212) 539-8681.
