Measure for Measure
Written by William Shakespeare | Directed by Michael Forden Walker
For our eighth annual Summer Youth Intensive, ASP youth will create, design, rehearse, and perform a full-length production of Measure for Measure, Shakespeare’s grave and darkly comic meditation on morality and justice, featuring very timely depictions of malignant authority, surveillance, and sexual harassment. Over four weeks, the youth ensemble work daily with Shakespeare’s language, voice, movement, and stage combat, guided by ASP company members and experienced teaching artists. Public performances are the culmination of a month-long intensive collaboration among teens from a variety of Boston-area communities.
Along with actors, youth stage managers, designers, and technical crew are welcome to apply.

“I have learned so much about Shakespeare through this program, gained confidence and met some really great people. I’ve become less afraid to be my true self around others.”
“Like no other program I’ve done before. You become so close with everyone and learn so much at the same time. ”
