Juvenile Justice Acting Classes

Delaware Shakespeare is a proud recipient of a Shakespeare in American Communities: Juvenile Justice grant. Presented by The National Endowment for the Arts, in partnership with Arts Midwest, Delaware Shakespeare is one of seven nonprofit organizations across the nation selected to present theatre education programs that engage youths in the juvenile justice system with the works of Shakespeare.

Locations include The Ferris School, The Cleveland C. White School, New Castle County Detention Center and Stevenson House Detention Center in Milford.
