Shepherd Shakespeare Company

SSCo was founded by a husband and wife team—Chester and Katy Shepherd—who share a love of theatre and performing for audiences of all ages. Both experienced theatre artists and educators, they have acted, directed, and taught all across the country and have been fortunate to work extensively with Children’s Theatre of Charlotte and Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte. Now they want to bring their love of Shakespeare to as many people and places as possible. With a strong passion for children and education, they strive to bring Shakespeare to areas where it might not normally be available.

Let’s Put On a Play!

Program description

In this residency, students will discover the joy of acting as they create and perform their own plays. Students will express their own creativity as they learn the basics of acting, dramatic structure, and writing as well as building their confidence in public speaking. The program culminates in a performance on the last day where students will show off their brand new play.
