This class meets Saturday, February 21 - Monday, February 23, 2015. The AUDITION INTENSIVE is limited to 14 participants and the fee is $240.

SHAKESPEARE AT THE ROSE will help take the fear out of performing Shakespeare! Learn how to approach the text, find the truth and apply fundamental principles of acting to classic scenes and monologues. This class will give you the tools to approach Shakespeare with a sense of confidence, adventure and honesty. Some rehearsal outside of class with a group is required. You must have a memorized Shakespearean monologue for the first class session. This class meets on Mondays, March 16 - April 13, 2015. SHAKESPEARE AT THE ROSE is limited to 14 participants and the fee is $325.
