THE PUBLIC THEATER’S PROGRAM FOR PROFESSIONAL ACTOR DEVELOPMENT

Once again! Tuition-free professional development for mid-career actors.
 









The Shakespeare Lab is The Public Theater’s professional actor development program that immerses a carefully-selected company of professional, mid-career actors in a summer intensive exploring the rigors, challenges, and joys of performing Shakespeare.

The Shakespeare Lab:

• is tuition-free in 2011.
• is for working professional actors in mid-career.
• includes six weeks of training and culminates in a public performance of Shakespeare

The Shakespeare Lab aims to build a strong and diverse collective of classically trained actors which will expand The Public Theater’s community of artists. Just as The Public Theater believes that Shakespeare should be accessible to all, the Shakespeare Lab believes that artists should have access to the skills they need to do excellent work on the best material. For that reason, the Shakespeare Lab is tuition-free.

The Shakespeare Lab is a unique opportunity for working American actors in mid-career to hone their craft and expand their classical skills. The Lab’s workshops in Shakespearean performance are led by some of the most respected figures in American classical theater training.
