Shakespeare’s World: What’s Cool in the Classics

Students will be asked to send in a video of themselves doing a 1 minute Shakespeare monologue using vocal projection for the stage. Instructions for submitting the video will be sent closer to the start of the program.  

Instructors will work with your child at their level. Your child will improve and learn new skills, whether they are a beginner or have been acting and performing for years.  They do, however, need to be willing to project their voices and act onstage.

Although this is an open admission program, students will have casting auditions after working with faculty.

• Water bottle (very important)

For the field trip:

• A low beach chair or blanket to sit on at the theater (it will be OUTDOOR theater – so bring a sweater or a jacket),
•  Money for snacks/ice cream (a bag “lunch” will be provided for a picnic supper before the show)

For rehearsals and costumes:

•  Footwear:  tennis shoes, boots (black or brown), closed-toed dress, ballet flats,  jazz shoes, or character shoes (if you have them, in black, brown, or beige) 

~ no sandals, crocs, or flip-flops, please ~

•  Comfortable clothes you can move in
• Dark legwear (black leggings, black pants and/or long jeans)
• White blouses or shirts (short or long-sleeved)
• Tank tops/undershirts to wear underneath as needed (and for modest quick changes)
• Any Renaissance Fair-type costumes you may have (flowing skirts, cloaks, corset vests, blouses, pants, hats, small purses, bags, etc.)

This is an anticipated list of items needed for this theatre workshop. You may be required to bring additional items pertaining to the specific production. We will communicate with enrolled students on those needs about 6 weeks prior to the program.
