ABOUT
Delaware Shakespeare Festival
The Delaware Shakespeare Festival performs a different play in Rockland Park each summer. Before the show, two actors from the production offer insight into the background and historical context of the evening’s play and allow time for a question and answer session with the audience. Members of Delaware Shakespeare’s College Apprentice Program perform an original comedy sketch prior to show time and wandering bards engage groups with Shakespeare’s work through sonnets and interactive games. Over the course of the year, Delaware Shakespeare also hosts a limited number of evening shows, such as “Shakespeare, Poe & Fiends,” featuring Shakespeare readings at different local venues.

FUN FACTS
Throughout the ages, theater has been used to record history, depict religious stories, spread information and even propaganda. Theater began in 500 B.C. in Greece. Today, Broadway shows alone sell over $1 billion worth in tickets and support 85,000 jobs – everyone from the playwright, to the sound technician, to the set designer. When visiting the theater, discuss what jobs people can have at the theater and the process of producing a stage play. Ask if the show offers Q&A or behind the scene opportunities.
