Testimonials:
"My daughter has attended nearly all the New Haven-based summer camps, and Elm Shakespeare Players Camp has been her favorite by far. She had no prior experience acting or reading Shakespeare, and by the end of the camp, she was hungry for more. I have never seen her dragging me out the door every day to get to a program early, because she was so eager to participate. The teaching artists are thoughtful, nurturing, and professional, and I am grateful to ESPC for developing my daughter's persistence and teamwork skills while nurturing a spark and a love for the arts that I think will delight her for a lifetime."
"This is one of the best experiences in my short years of life!" - 5h grader
This show was the best time of my life. I love my roles as grave digger, a demon, and a player. At the start it was nerve wracking but you helped me know I could do this! - 6th grader
