It is an acting workshop with the specific text of Shakespeare's play that will culminate in mid-summer performances and digital media internet events. Actors will learn stage technique as well as film acting. Each actor will perform live in front of an audience, whether in Hamlet, or in two supporting productions of Shakespeare in the Park(ing Lot) and Clown Romeo and Juliet. Actors may audition for the Project through video post or individual audition at the theatre on Saturday April 2nd from 10am to 2pm. The workshop space is limited. WHEN: The Hamlet Project Workshops will begin in May with performances in June.WHERE: Beowulf Alley Theatre, 11 S 6th Avenue in Downtown Tucson.COST: Workshop cost is $99.
