A regional Shakespeare competition sends one high-school champion from Acadiana to the ESU National Shakespeare Competition in New York.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The competition moves from a school-run round to a Lafayette regional, then to national finals at Lincoln Center. Registered schools receive an ESU handbook and approved monologue and sonnet packets, while the organizer offers campus help throughout the season. The page says six schools are already involved, students pay nothing, and the ESU covers finalists’ venue, meals, and activities, with partial travel support. A future public showcase weekend and annual Shakespeare productions are presented as growth plans.
