About the Ohio State University / Royal Shakespeare Company Partnership

Spearheaded by the Arts Initiative, the international OSU / Royal Shakespeare Company partnership focuses on a three-year teacher education program based on the RSC’s renowned “Stand Up for Shakespeare” program, and promotes literacy, drama education and leadership in Ohio public schools. The only partnership of its kind in the US, the endeavor initially involves 20 school teachers from multiple disciplines and grade levels in Ohio STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) schools, who teach 1,700 children. They will work with RSC educators and actors in the UK and with OSU faculty to embrace the RSC’s philosophies.
