Peter Gould’s famed Shakespeare camp, “Get Thee to the Funnery,” will happen this summer outdoors under the BIG TENT at Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro. As usual, the season is the first two weeks of August for this physically and mentally demanding day camp. Camp begins on Monday morning on August 2 and will top off with at least one final public-but-safely-spaced performance in the late afternoon of Friday, August 13th at HCA.
This will be the 24th summer session of the Funnery–a camp that always features great team-building and leadership training, developing the heart, mind, body, and voice of each camper. The study of this summer’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will focus on Shakespeare and climate change, a crisis that Vermont Humanities calls “an escalating, perhaps uncontrollable catastrophe in the making.” Peter Gould is grateful for the decades of support of the entire Craftsbury, Greensboro, and Hardwick community, and this year for the welcome given by the Highland Center.

Registration is $450.
