On Saturday, Sept. 27, 2008, Hartford Stage’s stellar education staff held the first Family Day of the season, in conjunction with our season opening production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Children ages 4 through 10 years old, divided into groups according to their ages, participated in theatre games and activities related to the Shakespeare classic. Parents attended that day’s matinee performance and afterwards were invited by their children to share in what they experienced at the workshop. Happy faces and enthusiastic quotes from the parents prove to all that Shakespeare is for children, too!
Parents’ quotes:
“What a great innovation by Hartford Stage!”
“We liked the children’s performances and the fact that they were able
to do something interactive and age appropriate.”
“Keep doing it. It’s great for the kids!”

The entrance is at the Residence Inn, and there is elevator access to the performance space. The event is free, so seating is first come, first served.
