Acting
Shakespeare:
Interactive Acting Workshop for High School Students
Wednesday, April 27, 4-6pm
Free event. Registration required.
Celebrate
Shakespeare with a prepared soliloquy, speech, or two-person scene from Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, or As You Like It.
Participants should choose something which engages them passionately and have
the work well enough in hand (memorized if possible) in order to explore the
text in a playful, workshop atmosphere.
(A soliloquy or speech should be roughly 1-minute long and scenes
approximately 5 minutes.) Bring your script and courage to grapple with the
Bard. No prior experience is
expected.
Registration is extremely
limited. A few spectator seats will be available.
Facilitator:
Terryl Hallquist, Associate Professor of Theatre, Vanderbilt University.

Hallquist has directed well over 80 plays at Vanderbilt University and is
especially proud of her productions of Shakespeare’s All’s Well That Ends Well, The
Tempest, Hamlet, The Winter’s Tale, As You Like It, Taming of the
Shrew and Much Ado About Nothing.
