Shakespeare Gym

Exercise your Shakespeare Muscles

The Shakespeare Gym provides an ongoing community in which to hone your skills in performing Shakespeare at a basic level. Suitable for actors wishing to enhance their training in Shakespeare as well as newcomers who are interested in exploring the plays more deeply! Gym performances range from informal presentations of the workshop experience with script in hand, to full-scale productions where actors memorize and perform their roles.

Caryl Farkas directs two to three Shakespeare Gym projects each year. Upcoming projects are listed on their website.

The Shakespeare Gym believes that the key to a successful performance comes from the actors and directors sharing a deep understanding of the play, actors thoughtfully speaking the speech, and the cast demonstrating an ability to tell the story while honoring the nuances in the text. We believe the complexity of characters and the ambiguities in the plot are things to celebrate—not dumb down.
