"I saw the project deepen students understanding and enjoyment of the plays of Shakespeare and provide students with a valuable theater education experience. The residency often helped the girls overcome shyness, feel confident about speaking in front of a group, and it sparked an interest in Shakespeare that was a joy to behold." - Liselle Sakrani Former Teacher and Vice Principal St. Aloysius School
