Assemblies

The L.A. Troupe, Theatre-in-Education offers in-school assemblies, residencies, and workshops of William Shakespeare’s A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, ROMEO AND JULIET, JULIUS CAESAR, AND MACBETH, as well as Homer’s THE ODYSSEY, and TALES OF EDGAR ALLAN POE. The performances are forty-five minute adaptations of these classic works, and combine audience interaction with creative staging to give students a clear understanding of classical language and fully engage them in each production. Set designs, costumes, and props that reflect the period along with Shakespeare’s imagery and figurative language give students an insight into how a theatrical presentation can fire the imagination.
