Bully for Shakespeare?

We had the privilege of working this spring with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival this spring to produce a video highlighting it’s anti-bullying curriculum.  Actors performed an abridged (but especially physical) production of “The Taming of the Shrew”, followed by a workshop for students to discuss the incidents of bullying they had just seen.  It was a great experience for us and for the kids, and hopefully the video will help get the word out about Safe2Tell, an anonymous tipline that is helping Colorado schools become safer places.
