As a relatively common tool and object of analysis in teaching Shakespeare and dramatic literature in general, live performance deserves further attention within the pedagogical literature. This is even more true now, since the development of digitally relayed live broadcasts has widened access to theatre, creating greater possibilities for incorporating some version of a live production into a course. As with any activity, such incorporation benefits from conscientious framing, since otherwise a live performance can end up being just an ancillary enrichment experience--interesting but not necessarily related to the objectives of the course. This article offers one point of entry into the topic by discussing an approach to a type of course that always incorporates live performance, those in which students study individual plays and then attend live, usually professional productions of most or all of them. Author, Jessica Winston, shares her approach to teaching Shakespeare on Stage including the layout of the course and specific assignments.
