The Bard Series
This season, students will have the opportunity to participate in three (No audition required) Shakespeare productions! In the fall, we performed The Bloody Bard, an original exploration of Shakespeare’s spookiest, witchiest, and bloodiest works. Next up: The Lovely Bard and The Foolish Bard.
Join us for an original exploration of Shakespeare’s works through the lens of his love stories. Parental, Familial, Romantic, Friendship, and even Frenemy – the Bard of Avon knew how to explore all facets of human relationships and we will showcase this through scenes, sonnets, and monologues of his work. Students will spend rehearsals learning important skills to performing this illustrious canon; from text analysis to character development and movement styles.
Whether it’s your first time working with the Bard, or you are a seasoned pro – there’s a place for you! Newer students will work on ensemble and small featured roles while experienced students can explore hefty monologues and iconic leads. Auditions and placement will occur during the first meeting.
Some rehearsal conflicts will be accepted, but students should be available for most sessions. Weekday rehearsals will be used for smaller and individual work while weekend sessions will focus more on ensemble pieces. Students will be given their call for the coming week by Monday evening. No conflicts are allowed for tech week or performances.
