Shakespeare & Company’s Center for Actor Training has announced its fall 2025 weekend intensive workshops, with sessions planned for New York City (Oct. 4–5), Los Angeles (Oct. 18–19), and Lenox, MA (Nov. 8–9), as well as a brand-new Alumni Advanced Weekend Intensive in New York City (Dec. 5–7).
Designed for professional actors and theater students, as well as alumni seeking to reconnect with Shakespeare & Company’s training methods, the weekend intensives integrate voice, movement, and monologue work.
“Our weekend intensives are open to all who are curious about speaking Shakespeare,” said Sheila Bandyopadhyay, director of the Center for Actor Training. “In addition to seasoned performers, directors, and educators, we often welcome people who love Shakespeare but are new to acting. It’s a welcoming environment.”
