Good Will Shakespeare Festival
This multi-discipline arts festival brings together over 400 students and their teachers from all over B.C. to create, learn, and share their passions.
The festival is three full days of workshops, performances, and social activities. Students choose either the Drama Rotation (nine different workshops in drama, dance, writing, art, etc) OR one of the Intensive Workshops where they work with the same instructor for three days and present their work in the Gala Showcase at the end of the festival.

Although the festival focuses on Shakespeare, it covers an array of subjects including art, film/TV, choral music, writing, improvisation, costume design, set design, acting, dance, make up, and directing. By participating in these workshops, and learning about the theatrical process, the students experience the trans-formative power of theatre and the arts.
Throughout the festival students will act, sing, dance, design, write, and connect with others from around the province. It is our hope that they will be inspired to take their passion for the arts – in all it’s varied forms – and share with others so they will see the value of the arts in their lives.
