Get Thee to the Funnery brings you the
​best young people's SHAKESPEARE you'll ever see (or do!)

A Message from Founder/Director Peter Gould:
TWELFTH NIGHT 2023: been there; done that!

 ​The Funnery started in 1998 in the fabled Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. We're still right here. We do Shakespeare in a free-wheeling physical style that still keeps the Bard's glorious language. We are a LIFE CAMP, too.  Because theater education is the antidote to—okay, it's the antidote to everything!

     At camp we work our hearts, minds, bodies, and voices more than we do at any other time and place. It's TWO WEEKS TOWARD A MORE POWERFUL YOU! You'll pick up skills in self-confidence that stay around forever. During the pandemic our core teachings of compassion for each other were more important than ever. We did Merchant of Venice on Zoom! We made a movie all about it, which we called QUALITIES OF "MERCY?" Have you seen it? We really really want you to! Next came A Midsummer Night's Dream! We talked about young people and climate change. Awesome! In 2022 wow, our Hamlet left audience jaws agape, and taught us a lot about processing deep grief. This year, it was Twelfth Night.
