Princeton Christian Academy students visit Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Princeton Christian Academy students in seventh through 12th grades, joined by some alumni, made their annual trek to Chicago’s Navy Pier to see a performance of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater.

The PCA students begin the study of Shakespeare’s plays in seventh grade and continue throughout high school, reading “Romeo and Juliet,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Hamlet,” “Macbeth,” and various comedies such as “Comedy of Errors” and “Twelfth Night.” By the time students graduate they are good friends with William Shakespeare.

After the play students enjoyed time on the Pier, eating, shopping and riding the giant Ferris wheel before returning home by Green River lines charter bus. It was an inspirational and fun day.
