The best young people's SHAKESPEARE you'll ever see (or do!)

A Message from Founder/Director Peter Gould

     ​The Funnery started in 1998 with one camp in Craftsbury, in the fabled Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. We're still right here, and more Funneries have sprung up all around. We do Shakespeare in a free-wheeling physical style that's totally faithful to Shakespeare's glorious language. We are a LIFE CAMP, too.  Because theater education is the antidote to—well, it's the antidote to everything!

    You can go right to the CAMPS pages to sign up for 2020! And, you can also go there to get the Craftsbury Funnery official script. 

     At camp we work our hearts, minds, bodies, and voices more than any of us do anywhere else—at any other time. It's TWO WEEKS TOWARD A MORE POWERFUL YOU! You could say the effects are PERMANENT: that feeling of successful self-expression and positive self-esteem can end up staying around forever. In this critical year of 2020, our core teachings of compassion, empathy, inclusivity, and support for each other are more important than ever.  Add gratitude to that list, too. We thank everyone who has ever helped us in person, and all those who have donated, gifted, granted, to support our work.

 Go to the CAMPS page and find the one nearest to you.
