Thursday, March 23 at 6pmLocattions: TBDTailored to individual actors, beginners to more experienced. Upgrade your performance toolkit by exercising your vocal and physical range, and your character building skills through directed monologue and scene work.Goals: Identify skills and provide tools used in the performance of Shakespeare.Practices: Exploration, examination, discussion, and engagement in 3 primary areas.1.

We will also consider the numerous special effects in the Tempest such as magic, storms, swordfights, pageantry, and illusion.2.

The aim is to produce intellectual and emotional content that connects the actor to the text. We will explore how this work significantly enriches our collaboration with the audience. As a complement to your more muscular character building skills, there will be the opportunity to “out your inner clown” by developing a physical and vocal vocabulary unique to your own Clown. And, in the Shakespearean tradition of doubling characters, we will practice differentiating multiple characters.Watch their facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/482388297423635/ or visit their website http://www.garyshakesco.org/ for more information - 22

8:00 pm03/23/2023430 East U.S. Highway 6, Valparaiso, IN 46383Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
By Edward Albee
Directed by Andy Leahy
Performance Dates: March 10 thru 26, 2023
George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfire between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair.
