Shakespeare's Globe Education Program: Beyond the Classroom

Learning does not begin or end in the classroom. To help you get a true taste of theater life, extracurricular activities have been arranged specifically for students on this program to enable you to become fully immersed in the life and work of the Globe Theatre.

  • Theater performances–attend 3 performances at the Globe and experience Shakespeare’s work just as theatergoers did in the 1600’s.
  • Guided Theater tour–take a fascinating guided tour of the theater space, then walk through the Globe exhibition, learning about the rebuilding of the theater, the unusual musical instruments used on stage, the special effects used in Elizabethan times and today, the design, making and fitting of costumes and how Shakespeare’s plays were originally recorded in print.
In addition, a number of low-cost cultural activities and excursions are arranged to offer an inexpensive way to experience London’s exciting cultural life and to see other parts of Britain. Professional guides escort trips to enhance the educational experience. Past activities have included:
  • Guided city tour of London
  • Trip on the London Eye for an aerial view of the city
  • Day trip to Oxford, Straford-upon-Avon or Cambridge
