Shakespeare’s monologues can be intimidating, exciting, illuminating, and overwhelming, but they are a banquet of text, character, and human experience for the actor. Do you need a safe place to explore, connect, and grow into a new piece? Do you want to sharpen your skill at auditions? Do you need help choosing pieces that show your best self? Join us as we dive deeply and joyfully into finding personal connection in this workshop, and find joy swimming in the deep end.
Please prepare a monologue from any Shakespeare play or character with which you connect, no more than 2 minutes in length.
