Two special weekday performances for public, private, and home schools
Tuesday, May 4 and Wednesday, May 5, 2010
9am to 2:30pm
Students are invited to enter the realm of England's legendary King Henry VIII and experience the intellectual, cultural, and artistic splendor of the Renaissance first hand. Classes will experience a full day of demonstrations, shows, and educational interactions. The Royal Court and villagers welcome, and in fact relish, discussions about daily life in the Renaissance. As soon as they reserve their date, each teacher will receive a complimentary curriculum enhancement guide CD that is full of information, exercises, and studies about the Renaissance that will enrich the educational experience.

Call and schedule your school as soon as possible as space is limited.
Reservations
The entire Festival site is open for Student Days, so there should be plenty of room for all. Even so, it is best to make your reservation as early as possible so that we have a better idea of the number of Students and Teachers who are coming on each day, in order to provide the best experience possible for our guests. Reservations also allow us to send you the Curriculum Guide and Teacher Information. Everything that you will need to schedule your visit is included on the Reservation Form.
