Great Books Summer Program

Colorado Springs, Colorado

Shakespeare Play directed by Mr. Franco Bertucci

The Angelicum Academy held its first ever Shakespeare play in 2021. We had a very talented group of students from across America who sang, danced, and performed for our Angelicum family members. It was a wonderful evening for all! We are now planning our second Shakespeare play this summer. Any registered Great Books Summer Program student can join in this exciting production. If you would like to be part of this production, please contact Mr. Franco Bertucci at: socratic.discussions@yahoo.com
