Class experience
Calling all teen actors and Shakespeare enthusiasts! Let’s read Shakespeare with theatrical flair and bring it to life. This live read-through of Much Ado About Nothing will help you get familiar with the Bard’s work and grow your cold reading skills in this one week camp. Important: This class has a maximum of 6 students per section to ensure each student has ample time to read a variety of roles. Students are required to keep cameras on for the duration of this class. Age Requirement:...
This class is taught in English.
My hope is that every student that takes this class will leave more comfortable with Shakespeare’s language, with better cold reading skills, and with a desire to experience more of Shakespeare’s work.
I have extensive experience performing and directing Shakespeare plays. I have directed productions with mixed groups of middle school and high school students ages 12 and up and it is always great fun. I think that theatrical readings are a great way for students to explore a variety of roles in a pressure-free environment.

We will discuss how we can approach the texts as actors of our time, how to make choices that reflect our values, and discuss ways a contemporary company might adapt the play for a modern audience.
We will be using the Folger version of the text which is freely available online. A link to the script will be provided in the classroom.
Good morrow to my fellow actors, writers, and literary scholars! I'm Ms. Drea (she/her) aka "Director of Chaos" and I'm obsessed with literary and performing arts! They are my absolute passions and I love to share them with everyone I meet. My...
