Parents return for the final 15 minutes of class to watch a short presentation of the story of the day. Theatre Tots will take place 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. April 24, May 8 and 22, and June 5 and 19. The cost per class is $25.

- Middle School Summer Intensive is a two-week program for weekdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 26-30 and Aug. 2-6. The cost is $550. Instructed by Old Globe Teaching Artists, students will participate in daily physical, vocal and creative exercises and participate in workshops with members of the Globe/USD Master of Fine Arts program and the professional actors of the Summer Shakespeare Festival.
