Coming December 2024

Students from five New Haven schools come together to perform on a professional stage, surrounded by professional production elements in a celebration of creativity and humanity.

In a world steeped in competition the Festival provides a rare opportunity to appreciate and support students from other schools and communities.  Everyone discovers more about each other as individuals, abandoning the stereotypes that come from rivalry and celebrating the incredible bravery and hard work it takes to bring a play to life.  Students perform first at their own schools then at a weekend festival for the whole community.

Elm Shakespeare Company’s own Teen Troupe will provide an opportunity for any New Haven student to participate, even if their school cannot this year.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN

Elm is still raising the funds needed for this extraordinary event and needs to secure $25,000 in new funding by June 1.  Please make your donation today!
