High school and middle school students from Utah, Nevada, and Arizona participated in this year's competition.
The Shakespeare Competition cultivates the art of theatre, dance, and music, by providing active observation of peer and professional performances, educational creations based on Shakespeare's plays and poems, and personal evaluation by working theatre and dance professionals.
