Designed for novice and semi-experienced actors, this eight-week series focuses on the skills necessary to bring life to the classics on stage. Participants will work with The Shakespeare Theatre’s acclaimed staff while delving into works from Euripides to Shakespeare to Shaw to Williams.
YOUNG ACTORS SHAKESPEARE SCENE STUDY (ages 14-18) An extension of The Shakespeare Theatre’s popular Junior and Senior Shakespeare summer program, the Young Actors Shakespeare series takes students through the actor’s approach to Shakespeare. From text analysis and speech work to engaging in the “deliciousness of language” and physical characterization, this eight-week series explores some of Shakespeare’s most popular (and some lesser-known) scenes and sonnets.
