National Shakespeare Competition 2016
The English-Speaking Union National Shakespeare Competition is a school-based program designed
to help high school students develop their speaking and critical thinking skills and their appreciation of
literature as they explore the beauty of the language and the timeless themes in Shakespeare’s works. In the
Competition, students read, interpret, and perform monologues and sonnets in three qualifying stages—at
school, community, and national levels.
Since its launch with 500 students in New York City, the ESU National Shakespeare Competition
has given more than 300,000 young people of all backgrounds the opportunity to discover Shakespeare’s
writings and to communicate their understanding of his language and message. Now celebrating its 33rd
season, the Competition currently involves 55 English-Speaking Union Branches nationwide.
In spring, the winners of the local ESU Branch Competitions come to New York City to take part in the
ESU National Shakespeare Competition semi-finals held at Lincoln Center. In the semi-finals, all contestants
perform a monologue and a sonnet onstage. In the last phase of the Competition, those students selected as
finalists present a cold reading of a monologue from one of Shakespeare’s plays in addition to their prepared
monologues and sonnets.
The ESU National Shakespeare Competition has been recognized by the Globe Center (USA), the
Children’s Theatre Foundation of America, and the American Academy of Achievement. Judges for the
Competition have included Andre Braugher, Kate Burton, Maurice Charney, Blythe Danner, Barry Edelstein,
Lisa Gay Hamilton, Helen Hayes, Edward Herrmann, Dana Ivey, Peter Francis James, Kristin Linklater, Peter
MacNicol, Jesse L. Martin, Cynthia Nixon, Tina Packer, Sarah Jessica Parker, Nancy Piccione, Phylicia Rashad,
Christopher Reeve, Louis Scheeder, Carole Shelley, Richard Thomas, Courtney B. Vance, Sam Waterston,
Dianne Wiest, and Irene Worth.
