What if your scene partner were a professional actor?
Work virtually on Shakespeare scenes with actors from theatre, TV, and film!
Registration is now closed for Actors, but you can still sign up to AUDIT!
Available until August 10th with limited space!
Do you want to stay sharp, hone your acting skills, and connect with other artists?
Are you unsure what to do with this “at-home” time and are looking for a creative opportunity?
How much could you up your game by working with industry professionals?
NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!
Leap forward in your skills, your confidence, and your craft!
Join us for these virtual Shakespeare workshops!
We all know we improve when we work with those further along than us!
We may have missed out on Summer Shakespeare this year, but there’s no reason not to work on Shakespeare in 2020!
And most importantly: you’re not just learning FROM a professional, you’re learning and working WITH a professional as your scene partner!
We all know it’s going to be a while before acting as a profession returns to normal. So take this time to develop your skills, work with professionals, and have the experience of a lifetime!
We’re bringing actors together across generations and—especially now—across distances.
Next session begins in August! Limited space available!
If you’re looking to challenge yourself, here’s a wonderful opportunity! Truly taking the time to focus on a specific piece of text while actively working with professionals is not an opportunity we are all afforded. Sign up for the next workshop for the opportunity of a lifetime!

What’s the Workshop experience?
Spend 4 weeks working on 1 scene—a rare opportunity that hardly any actor (including professional!) gets!
You’ve been in class taught by professionals; now get a chance to work WITH professionals! You’ll be working alongside established directors and actors.
Plus, you’ll have an opportunity for a “text coaching” session on Shakespeare’s words from a teacher and dramaturg!
Most actors will never have the opportunity to work directly with these individuals, unless you happen to be cast in the same project—but what if you’re just starting out? Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could work with them NOW?
You can.
The next session begins in August!
SCENE GROUP ONE: Tuesdays at 5:00 pm PT, starting August 4th
SCENE GROUP TWO: Thursdays at 5:00 pm PT, starting August 6th
*These dates/times are pending everyone’s availability.
If cast, specific meeting times will be determined by the director and actors for each scene.
Limited space available!
Working with and watching more experienced artists was incredibly valuable. The back of my script is absolutely covered in notes. And in a time where it is difficult to perform due to the quarantine, it is an absolute godsend to be able to practice my craft over Zoom! I feel it has slowed the atrophy of my skills, and has reignited my drive to work towards goals in my artistic endeavors despite the uncertain nature of the world at this time.
