Today we went to the Utah Children’s Theater‘s Shakespeare Festival for Kids and had a great time! In addition to offering many kid-friendly Shakespeare-esque performances, they had some fun activities set up in the various parts of the theater.

They invited kids onstage to volunteer to be part of the cast.
It was a fun and educational way to spend a Saturday morning — and they’ll be doing it two more times (Sept 23 and 30) this fall!
