CLASSIC TRAINING in a CLASSIC CITY. Join the master teachers and continental Europe’s premiere English-language classical theatre: Prague Shakespeare Company for a transformational classical theater training and mentorship experience, while immersing yourself and performing in some of continental Europe’s most historically significant and culturally important venues. PSC Intensive performances will take place at the Czech Republic National Theatre’s Estates Theatre, Divadlo Bez Zabradli, Divadlo Na Pradle, and Prague Castle.
Welcome to Shakespeare Boot Camp! We call it an INTENSIVE for a reason – participants eat, breathe and live Shakespeare during the training period. Participants complete their summer/winter “Shakesperience” with a professional Prague Shakespeare Company credit added to their resume. All Intensive productions are featured as part of Prague Shakespeare Company’s 2023 Season and allow participants to work alongside professional PSC artists and Intensive faculty members. Students enrolled in the 2023 Summer 6-Week session and 2023 Winter 4-Week session will participate in TWO productions during the training period. Students enrolled in the 2023 Summer 4-Week sessions and 2023 Winter 3-Week session will participate in ONE production during the training session.
Directors for the 2023 Summer & Winter Shakespeare Intensives include Guy Roberts, Sharon Ott, Jennifer King, Lisa Wolpe, Matthew Davies, Kiara Pipino, Linda Gates, Brendon Fox, John Blondell, Carolyn and Jim Johnson, Dmitry Troyanovsky, Alastair Hunter, Kevin Hopkins and Claire Nicholls, among others TBA.
