YOUNG ACTORS SHAKESPEARE CONSERVATORY
directed by Karen Ball and Michael Levine

A eight-month training program in Shakespearean verse for teen actors
Members of the Young Actors Shakespeare Conversatory will train with Acorn's Producing Director in the fall, learning how to strengthen their voices and breathe life in to the rich imagery of Shakespeare's verse. After the first of the year, the actors will be directed by Naked Shakespeare company member Karen Ball in an abridge production of a classic Shakespeare comedy, to be performed at SPACE Gallery in May and at the Westbrook Shakespeare Festival in June. A great immersion for teens wishing to deepen their acting skills through working with heightened language. Enrollment limited to 12 participants.
