Michigan Shakespeare Festival

While the Michigan Shakespeare Festival's main focus is its summer productions, the Festival also has a series of programs designed to spread the wonder of Shakespearean theater.

YMCA Day Camp

Each year the Jackson YMCA sponsors a trip to a special performance of the Festival's family show. Children get a chance to watch the play and meet with the actors afterwards.
