Shakespeare was not meant to be taught in a classroom, but to be experienced live. Students will get the opportunity to learn how to perform a Shakespeare piece, not just interpret it.

We will be melding classical language with modern technique, with the ultimate result being a live streamed Shakespeare showcase, and a monologue that you can confidently present at auditions.
