LEMI is pleased to announce:

The sixth annual
Shakespeare Showdown
May 28-30, 2009 location – Heber Valley Camp

Dear Shakespeare Conquest Mentors, Parents, or Students,

LEMI is excited to announce the fifth annual Shakespeare Showdown May 28-30 at Heber Valley Camp.

We had a wonderful time last year. One chaperone wrote,

Thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of the showdown. It was such a powerful experience that I, for one, am still processing what I experienced and learned. If I had not seen with my own eyes what those kids accomplished, it would be hard to believe.
It was truly remarkable and inspiring. Your troop will come away wanting to go again next year.

What is the Shakespeare Showdown - The Shakespeare Showdown is a chance for troops to get together and show off. Each troop gets to perform their play. We also provide workshops and speakers to enhance their Shakespeare experience. Last year we had workshops on Elizabethan dance, stage compact, accents and more. This is a great opportunity for students to meet and share their love of Shakespeare.

Tentative Schedule of Events

Cost
• $40 per person – includes housing, workshops and t-shirt

Food and Transportation - LEMI will not provide any food or transportation. Every mentor/commonwealth school must provide all food and transportation for their troop.

Chaperones - Every troop must bring adult chaperones for every 6-7 students.

Registration - If you are interest in coming, which you should be, register by March 15. Late registration will be taken up to April 30 late registration at $50 a person. Due to limited space, we will only be accepting ten troops, so get it in as soon as you can.
