Improvising Shakespeare

Does the thought of improvising in the style of William Shakespeare sound inspiring, impossible, intriguing, and/or intimidating?

This workshop will put you at ease with some fun ways to learn the skills of bringing ol' Bill's classic genre to life, extemporaneously.

Through games and scenes, you will become a bit more comfortable, familiar, and confident with the style.

Rumor has it that we will be producing an improvised show in the style of the Bard this spring. What better way to brush up your Shakespeare before the auditions?

COST: $30

Improvised Shakespeare Workshop: Saturday, January 24, 1-4pm
