Theatricum Botanicum is an open-air theatre in Topanga, situated in the Santa Monica Mountains. Our learners and their parents were able to participate in various pre-show workshops and even got to do improv!
Under the cover of the forest, we then watched, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” performed by professional actors in brilliant costumes and makeup! Characters swung from trees, combatted, and ran through the audience while spinning Shakespeare’s magical tale of love and magic. Three of our own iLEAD Exploration learners were able to perform in the actual play!
It was a truly marvelous field trip for all ages and we hope to return soon to Theatricum Botanicum!
