Ages 13-29 Young Shakespeare’s Tragic History of RICHARD III

 

Workshop: Saturday, March 2, 2024 at 11:45 a.m.

 

 

Rehearsals & Performances: late May-June Asian American Resource Center - City of Austin

 

Amazing show of Wild Richard with his treacherous plots against his brother Clarence; the murders of his innocent nephews; his crazy usurpation! Co-directed by Ann Ciccolella & Cynthia Florez!

 

Young Shakespeare is an intensive summer performance group for students aged 13-19, but we definitely have had younger experienced students audition in the past. Please let us know if you have any questions! A month-long rehearsal period culminates in a student-performed, professionally-staged production at The Curtain Theatre, Austin's own Elizabethan replica theater space. The program is now in its 16th consecutive year.

 

After introductions and a brief warm up activity, we will ask everyone to read from a variety of sides. Actors should familiarize themselves with the characters and plot of the play before the audition. If there is a particular character an actor wants to be considered for, they may choose to prepare something specifically from that character.
