Austin Shakespeare Offers Monologue Masterclass With Conner Wilson Via Zoom

Austin Shakespeare will facilitate a masterclass with distinguished Shakespeare Director and Broadway Associate Director Conner Wilson on Saturday, Jan. 16 from 2 to 4 p.m. The cost to audit the workshop is $40.

Part of the directing team of Harry Potter and Cursed Child and Torch Song Trilogy, Wilson is intrigued by the links between classical texts and the world we inhabit. The up-coming masterclass will be focused on clarity, text analysis and auditioning. According to Austin Shakespeare Artistic Director Ann Ciccolella it will be a great opportunity for auditors to expand their understanding of Shakespeare as they monitor the review of the submitted auditions. After the work session, Wilson will conclude with a 20-minute Q & A.
