Shakespeare Studio is Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park’s new 14‑week training program for young artists who want to build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and explore the world of Shakespeare through ensemble‑based acting. Designed for middle‑school and early high‑school students, the program blends cooperation, creativity, and classical technique in a supportive, professional environment.

Led by OSP teaching artists, students will develop practical tools they can use onstage and beyond: voice and text work, character exploration, physical storytelling, improvisation, and collaborative scene study. The session culminates in a final showcase performance for family and friends.
