Two special weekday performances for public, private, and home schools
Tuesday, May 5 and Wednesday, May 6, 2009
9 AM to 2:30 PM
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.
