"Taking the Fear Out Of Shakespeare is a class dedicated to appreciating and enjoying Shakespeare. It is designed for anyone who is interested in furthering his or her experience with the Bard: actors and people of all vocations and backgrounds are welcome to come and participate. Acting not required! Our workshop is achieved in a low-pressure – but passionate – environment, one can do any of the following:
read a piece (monologue or scene);
read a piece and discuss it;
read a piece and analyze its language (my specialty!);
perform a piece (with or without critique); whatever you feel like doing.
Wherever you are with it, I’m there simply to help you move forward.
