Weeklong workshops in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and New York City designed to lead sixty teachers in an examination of two plays by William Shakespeare.

In the summer of 2007, the Folger Shakespeare Library will organize and offer week-long faculty humanities workshops on Teaching Shakespeare in New York City and Tulsa, Oklahoma. We are coordinating these workshops for secondary school teachers of English, drama, and humanities with local partners, including the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Tulsa Branch of the English-Speaking Union of the United States?both known for their innovative Shakespeare education programs. We ask the National Endowment for the Humanities to consider a grant of $74,023 to support this inaugural regional tour of teacher workshops.
