From the page and to the stage, William Shakespeare\u2019s\u00a0Romeo and Juliet\u00a0<\/em>launches Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival\u2019s annual WillPower Tour which will perform for 50 schools across Pennsylvania and New Jersey through November 17.<\/p>\n

Now in its 18th year, the WillPower Tour has served more than 174,000 students in 40 of Pennsylvania\u2019s 67 counties as well as New Jersey and Delaware. The tour includes a professionally directed 80-minute production with set and costumes, trained actor-teachers, and quality curriculum through workshops and other sessions with the students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe live theatre experience is the perfect complement for educators and students when incorporated before, during, or after reading the text of\u00a0Romeo and Juliet\u00a0<\/em>in the classroom,\u201d says Jill Arington, PSF Education Director.<\/p>\n

To enhance the experience educators receive a study guide designed to complement the classroom reading and to broaden the students\u2019 understanding of the play and critical thinking skills about Shakespeare\u2019s language and characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to support the work that teachers do in the classroom to keep Shakespeare alive and to introduce his works to the next generation,\u201dsays Arington.<\/p>\n

A major goal of WillPower is to \u201cturn on\u201d young minds to the power of language. PSF\u2019s Where There\u2019s a WILL, There\u2019s a Way program seeks to deepen this experience and provide WillPower attendees with access to the Festival\u2019s summer productions, as well.<\/p>\n

Fully titled the Linny Fowler WillPower Tour in honor of an endowment gift by its namesake, Marlene \u201cLinny\u201d Fowler, who passionately believed in the power of theatre and education.<\/p>\n

The National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest presents\u00a0Shakespeare in American Communities<\/em>. The Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival is one of 40 professional theater companies selected to participate in bringing the finest productions of Shakespeare to middle- and high-school students across the United States.<\/p>\n

Romeo and Juliet\u00a0<\/em>is directed by Matt Pfeiffer, who has directed numerous PSF productions including this past summer season\u2019s\u00a0As You Like It<\/em>. Scenic design is by Steve TenEyck and costumes designed by Janus Stefanowicz. Sound was designed by Josh Totora and fights were choreographed by J. Alex Cordaro.<\/p>\n

The tour will perform at schools in ten counties in Pennsylvania, including Berks, Bucks, Delaware, Lehigh, and Northampton, and three counties in New Jersey, Monroe, Camden, and Warren.<\/p>\n

Presently the 2017 tour is sold-out.
