This class culminates in a performance showcase!

Join Diana Brown for this workshop/rehearsal to showcase that requires no knowledge of Shakespeare, just the willingness to explore the bawdier side of Elizabethan life.
A ribald romp inspired by the bawdy, and in truth, a bit naughty side of Shakespeare.
We’ll adventure to the pubs and inns and alleyways populated with scurrilous rogues, lively and quick. Delightful characters, deliciously flawed with aspirations of greatness.
And we’ll explore the way Shakespeare used rhythm and rhyme, metaphor and imagery to tempting effect.
Our efforts will culminate in an improvised performance!
