The Art of the Audition with Allyn Burrows

Have a Shakespeare audition coming up and want to feel more prepared? Actors know that auditions are a specific skill in themselves, and that having a strong audition is half the battle to getting that job. Whether you want to dust off an old piece, have a new Shakespeare audition speech you’d like to hone, or even if you have never auditioned with a Shakespeare text before, this workshop is for you. Come spend the day with Shakespeare & Company Artistic Director Allyn Burrows and a group of fellow actors to craft your next Shakespeare audition. This workshop will include practical feedback on your own work and valuable insight into the business of casting.
