Shakespeare Gala Showcase

Teams present the final design-driven performances featuring masks and scenes that explore disguise in Shakespeare's comedies. The performance will be shared with an authentic audience including peers, teachers, and invited community guests. Students will explain how their disguises reflect character goals, social norms, and conflict resolution, demonstrate their masks and scenes, and respond to audience feedback. A post-performance reflection captures insights gained about audience impact, collaboration, and iteration across the project, with the rubric assessing user understanding, problem definition, creative problem-solving, prototyping/iteration, and communication.
