The Old Globe's seventh annual Summer Shakespeare Intensive presented its culminating performance on Monday, August 18 at 8:00 p.m. with performances of 50-minute versions of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and The Comedy of Errors in the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. Scroll down for photos of the cast in action!
The four-week program is a unique opportunity for local high school actors and actresses to refine their skills as performers in a professional setting. Throughout the Intensive, the students have the chance to study classical theatre technique, voice, movement and stage combat while observing the productions of the Globe's Shakespeare Festival, which runs concurrently with the program. Festival company members are able to lend the students insights into the art of performing Shakespeare that they then apply to their own performances of the Bard's work.
The 2014 Summer Shakespeare Intensive coincided with The Old Globe's 2014 Shakespeare Festival; the Festival's second production, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, is currently running through Sept. 14.
