Brendon Kelso

Brendan Kelso has spent the past 17 years working with kids, educators, and parents from around the globe on how to engage their kids with Shakespeare. Being a playwright with a primary focus on Shakespeare for Kids and Classics for Kids, as well as directing over 150 productions with these titles, he has quite an extensive and unique insight to what makes Shakespeare resonate with kids from their early years through high school.

About Playing with Plays

“We here at Playing With Plays are all about opening the world of Shakespeare and Classics to kids through the melodramatic doorway of drama. Our vision is to have every kid in the world love Shakespeare and be constantly exposed to the wonderful stories and characters of these classic plays as well as classic novels. With over 30,000 books sold to date and reaching more than 100,000 kids, we are well on our way!”
