All Things Shakespeare!
The training program for young actors interested in Shakespeare.
Now in two age groups!
See what happens behind the scenes in a theatre. Learn how an actor prepares and what it's like to act in a Shakespeare play. During Session One (both Levels), highly skilled theatre artists will instruct you in the techniques and methods used by the pros, including auditioning, voice, diction, movement, scene study, stage combat, understanding the plot and words, and speaking the lines. Session Two builds on skills learned in Session One. Rehearse and perform a full production of
Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. (Session One is not a pre-requisite for participation.)
