Teaching Shakespeare, Here and Now

Gather with teachers, scholars, directors, and performers from across the Texas Panhandle to discuss teaching Shakespeare today. 

We're bringing together educators and theater practitioners for a packed day and a half, including workshops for literature and drama teachers, a keynote address by Dr. Jesus Montaño and a staged reading of Seres Jaime Magaña's The Tragic Corrido of Romeo and Lupe. 

Choose from a variety of workshops, for literature and drama teachers.

The symposium will offer multiple tracks of workshops, so that you can choose depending on your interests. Led by actors, directors, educators, and literary scholars from across Texas (and beyond), each workshop will offer insights on particular aspects of Shakespearean pedagogy. You can choose to focus just on drama or literature or take a mix. 

Share your ideas with fellow educators and bring their insights back to your classroom. 

Our meals and reception will offer the opportunity to chat with our guest speakers and with other Panhandle teachers, to compare notes and brainstorm new strategies. 

Interested? Please sign up using our interest form.
