One of things I have learned over the last few years is to break up the plays. We always do our three Ambleside Online plays, but then take votes on what else to include. One spring, with our two additional plays, we ended up with THREE tragedies in a row. I heard some feedback about that from the kids through their parents. Since then, I've tried to intentionally alternate tragedies with comedies. That being said, here is the lineup for our 2024-2025 school year!
1) Cymbeline (tragedy) - September - October (dates set)
2) The Tempest (comedy) - mid-October - mid-November (dates set)
3) Antony & Cleopatra (tragedy) - January - February (specific dates, TBD)
4) As You Like It (comedy) - March (specific dates, TBD)
5) Macbeth (tragedy) - April - May (specific dates, TBD)
