Shakespeare & Company Unveils Fall 2025 Lineup of Actor Training Intensives

Programs in New York, Los Angeles, and Lenox include a new advanced alumni weekend.

By:

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.”

  • Alumni discount: 15% off for graduates of the Month-long Intensive, Summer Shakespeare Intensive, or Conservatory programs.

  • Union/STA members: 10% off tuition.

  • Student & BIPOC tuition: $325 (discounts may not be combined).

  • Housing (Lenox session): Single-occupancy dorm-style housing available on campus for $50 per night, with shared kitchen and bathroom.
