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.
