ASC faculty member Sarafina Vecchio developed "ShakesPlay!" after receiving a postgraduate award in Teaching Shakespeare from The University of Warwick in Coventry, England, which developed the program with The Royal Shakespeare Company. She has been teaching "ShakesPlay" using her active methods since 2012, and has been a guest artist at many Chicago area high schools and colleges, as well as a private coach. Most recently, she was invited as a guest artist to Stratford Festival in Ontario, Canada to help their acting company unlock ways to teach Shakespeare to schools in their area.
