Shakespeare Competitions

The multi-state high school Shakespeare competition is sponsored by the Tony Award-winning Utah Shakespeare festival. High Schools from the entire region compete with all Shakespeare monologues, scenes, dances, and one-act summary plays. Backstage crews are also encouraged to compete. I frequently directed scenes and monologues and choreographed dances for our yearly trip.
