Prepare, rehearse, and perform in a series of staged readings, working with professional directors and actors as part of a core company of students playing substantial roles. Issues explored in the class include the expectations involved in professional work, how to make strong acting choices within a compressed schedule, and the specific demands of staged readings versus full productions. This session explores plays that focus on acts of political resistance. The scripts are not yet finalized, but titles under consideration include Rhinoceros, Mary Stuart, The Balcony, and Inherit the Wind. Many roles for all types.
