As The Old Globe celebrates its 80th Anniversary and its rich relationship with William Shakespeare, the theatre today announces that auditions for the Globe’s 2015 Summer Shakespeare Intensive for San Diego County high school students will be held on Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22 on the Globe campus. The four-week program is a unique opportunity for high school actors and actresses to refine their skills as performers in a professional setting. The Intensive will take place on Saturday, July 11 and on weekdays from July 13 through August 10. The program will culminate with a public performance of two Shakespeare plays on Monday, August 10 on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre, part of the Globe’s Conrad Prebys Theatre Center. The program cost is $725 with a limited number of need-based scholarships available. Auditions are by appointment only and can be scheduled beginning in February.

Students in the Summer Shakespeare Intensive study classical theatre technique, voice, movement, and stage combat led by theatre professionals while rehearsing for two productions of Shakespeare’s plays. Throughout the Intensive, the students have the unique opportunity to study Shakespeare and see the productions of the Globe’s Shakespeare Festival, which runs concurrently with the program. Festival company members lend the students insights into the art of performing Shakespeare that the students then apply to their own performances of the Bard’s work.
Registration begins on Monday, March 9 for the Middle School Summer Conservatory, a three-week program of intense acting study with professional teaching staff and actors from the Globe’s Shakespeare Festival productions. Students will explore scene study, stage combat, theatre games, improvisation, movement, and specialty workshops. The Conservatory will take place on weekdays, June 29 – July 17. The program cost is $625 ($600 for children and grandchildren of Globe subscribers) and does not require an audition, though a passion for theatre and acting is important. For more information or to register for the Conservatory, email GlobeLearning@TheOldGlobe.org.
