You might think of the Bard as too difficult or boring for children and teens, but Jan Helling Croteau can tell you otherwise. She runs a theatre company for kids from age 6 to 19 and they perform the works of Shakespeare. Jan says it can be compelling fare for any age and awaken a lifelong interest in great literature. Jan has also written a book called "Perform It!" which is a guide to young people's theatre. You can reach Jan at j_croteau@conknet.com.
