Harlequin Productions’ Summer Acting School

Audition/Register Early for Tuition Discount

Harlequin is pleased once again to offer The Shakespeare Experience, a summer youth workshop for students aged 13– 19. The Shakespeare Experience is an enriching and rewarding experience for young actors, whether just starting out or experienced. This year’s program runs June and July, three evenings a week. Student participation will culminate in a final public performance. 

The course involves a thorough examination of Shakespeare: the beauty of the language, the richness of his characters, and the timeless and universal exploration of the human condition. Professional actors will guide students in activities that will engage them in the physical and intellectual aspects of acting in an atmosphere that encourages creative expression within the discipline of acting. 

Our 2010 program will be accepting up to 50 students. Tuition is $475. Some scholarships are available.

Enrollment is by audition. If you are interested in participating in our 2010 program, please fill out an Online Audition Form or Print a Paper Copy to mail or fax in. Auditions are by appointment only. Our next scheduled audition is Saturday, May 29. Please contact the Box Office for more information.

Auditioners should come prepared to give two contrasting one-minute monologues, at least one from Shakespeare. Auditioners will also be asked to sing 16 bars of a song a cappella.

Selected students from the program will be invited to join the cast of Harlequin Productions’ fall 2010 production of The Taming of the Shrew.
