Shakespeare in the Classroom—Measure for Measure

Dates February 23, 2026-March13, 2026
Time: During the school day 
Location: Your School
Class price: $250 

Appropriate for Middle and High School students, this 50-minute interactive workshop explores the language and themes of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure. Through entertaining literary activities and high stakes competition, our Youth and Community Arts teaching team will guide learners through an artistic educational experience that demystifies Elizabethan language and provides accessible entry points into this time-honored classic. 

Workshops can take place on the booking school’s campus or on PCPA’s campus as a preshow engagement if your class is attending a performance. If the workshop takes place on the booking school’s campus, they can be held in a teacher’s classroom or other designated indoor space on campus.

Measure for Measure Show Square

Workshops are available T-F, February 23th-March 13th, during the school day 

Workshop Cost: $125 

These workshops deepen your students’ engagement with the show, and we therefore recommend attending the workshop before seeing the production. However, the workshop is not dependent on having seen the performance.
