Performing Shakespeare
April 15 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm Eastern
Shakespeare doesn’t have to be scary! Join actress and teaching artist Bethany Mayo in learning a quick and easy way to break down and perform a monologue! Don’t worry about being an expert– you’ll learn everything you need to get you speaking Shakespeare on your feet in this 90-minute session. All you need is your voice, a pencil and a willingness to give it the “old college try”
This workshop is offered in partnership with the Virginia Stage Company.
