HMS and DPS Shakespeare Festival

Posted May 1, 2023

39th Annual DPS Shakespeare Festival

Friday, April 28th, 2023

This year’s theme is “King Lear.”

“The mission of the DPS Shakespeare Festival is to provide a whole child experience in the arts that is accessible to 100% of DPS students. The Festival presents a joyful, rigorous, and fun exploration of Denver’s rich culture of collaboration and community.”

The DPS Shakespeare Festival is the oldest and largest student Shakespeare festival in the country, and perhaps the world, and includes thousands of students and teachers from schools all across the region. The nationally recognized festival is one of only two sites to have received the coveted Folgers Library Shakespeare Stewardship Award.

Our very own drama students and teacher, Nancy Nyhus, attended and participated in the festival this Friday, April 28th. Great job!!!
