You will have fun exploring the text, putting your best self forward, and learn from observing others in the masterclass.

Due to the potentially unsafe travel conditions forecasted by the Nor'easter weather, we have decided to postpone our Shakespeare Audition Masterclass in Connecticut. Your safety is our first priority. We are looking to reschedule it for November 7 from 10am-1pm. Once the venue confirms, we will let you know.

In the meantime, if you are able, we invite you to attend the NYC Masterclass on October 10 from 2-5pm. You can sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1999318931745?aff=oddtdtcreator

Again, we apologize for the postponement, but we look forward to a joyous masterclass exploring Shakespeare with you in the near future in Connecticut.
