you'll ever see (or do!)

A Message from Founder/Director Peter Gould:
Full Speed Ahead in 2023! Of course!

 ​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!

    You can go right to the CAMPS pages to sign up for 2023! By the way, the "Craftsbury Funnery" happens in Greensboro now.
​I know. Confusing. But, it's just the next town over.

     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 COVID our core teachings of compassion for each other were more important than ever. There's a great interview about the pandemic problems we faced.  Take a look! 
In 2020 we did Merchant of Venice on Zoom; we talked about hatred and prejudice. We made a movie all about it, which we called QUALITIES OF "MERCY?" 
Have you seen it? We really really want you to! In 2021 we met on the lawn of the beautiful Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro. A Midsummer Night's Dream! We talked about climate change—and Shakespeare, too. Awesome! Last year, wow, our Hamlet left audience jaws agape...
