Classical Acting Academy
Summer 2010
Overview
The Classical Acting Academy was developed to
serve professional actors who want an immersion experience in classical
acting techniques and performance. Over a period of eight weeks, actors
work with a seasoned director, text and acting coaches and a combat
director in a professional setting, allowing them the unique
opportunity to be with professionals who are working in the field.
Actors have the chance to be considered for the mainstage spring
productions.
In the summer of 2010, Henry V will be the Academy's production.
Henry V
August 4 - 15, 2010
Wed. - Sat. at 7 PM and Sun. at 2 PM
Free (Tickets are on a first come, first served basis, available three hours prior to each performance)
Henry V is probably Shakespeare's most famous
history play. It is based on the life of King Henry V of England and
centers around events before and after the battle of Agincourt in 1415,
during the 100 Years War. In Shakespeare's Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, we
meet Henry (Hal) as a young and undisciplined man, frequenting bars and
thieving with the charming but dissolute Falstaff. In Henry V we see
him transformed into an ambitious and charismatic king who has
inherited a troubled throne but sets out to conquer France and briefly
unites with England.
