»Henry Kemp-Blair Shakespeare Festival

Since 1975, the Henry Kemp-Blair Shakespeare Festival has provided opportunities for high school theatre students to learn more about performing and producing Shakespeare’s works. The festival is hosted annually each spring by Chapman University's Department of Theatre. High school theatre cohorts visit Chapman to present scenes, monologues, and designs, and to participate in workshops led by Chapman theatre faculty and students.
