Free Speaker Event: Professor Thomas Bradac
Professor Bradac will discuss Actors, Audience and the First Folio!"
In 1623, seven years after Shakespeares death, members of his acting company compiled and published 36 of his plays into what is known as the First Folio. It is the closest document we have to what Shakespeare actually wrote and examines how the plays may have been spoken by his company. An essential tool for actors examining a character, the First Folio is a treasure trove of information for player and reader alike!
The founder of Shakespeare Orange Country, and its Artistic Director from 1991-2013, Professor Bradac has been a theatre professional for over 40 years. He founded the Grove Shakespeare Festival (1979-1991), a two-theatre Actors Equity Company, producing 110 productions, and was awarded the prestigious Hollywood Drama-Logue Publishers Award for Exceptional Achievement in Theatre for his work. He is a founding director of the Shakespeare Theatre Association, an international service organization for theaters dedicated to producing Shakespeare, and has served as the organizations President. He has also served on the performance advisory board for the Internet Shakespeare Editions, University of Victoria, Canada. He recently adapted and staged Shakespeares poem, Venus and Adonis, for the Prague Fringe Festival. He has been a member of Actors Equity Association and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
