If you've been looking for a fun and safe space to explore Shakespeare's work - either as an actor, or re-imagining his plays as a playwright, ​this
Shakespeare
Workshoppe
​may be for you!

 -  From   Page   to   Stage  - 

Creating Community

On Sundays and Wednesdays, the Workshoppe will convene for 4 hours and work on scenes, monologues and writing based on Shakespeare. All those in attendance will have an opportunity to hear their written work or perform a selection for the group. 

Scene Study & Development

As we collectively grow in community, those interested will commit to shaping a adaptation of a Shakespeare play, directed by Anna. Those interested in working deeply on an existing Shakespeare scene as actors will be paired and receive support and feedback. 

Performance Opportunities

Those who commit to shaping a full script and/or performance will get at least 2 full weekends of fully produced shows at a venue. Those interested in presenting their scenes individually will present their work at a Shakespeare Workshoppe Showcase. 

About Your Guide - Anna Rebek


Anna has studied Shakespeare both as an undergrad at Yale, and also for her MFA in directing @ Columbia with Brian Kulick. Anna directed her first full length King Lear, with esteemed dramaturg Emily Boyd Dahab, @ The Brick in the summer of 2018. She then helped adapt and directed Mary V, a feminist adaptation of Henry V for Fringe NYC (see press article below). She then cut a 90 minute Tempest with double casting and performed it in her classroom as the sun set with a real swinging hammock! Anna spent a week as AD helping cut Measure for Measure for the Public Theater for LA Williams' Mobile Shakespeare unit. In short, Anna is a Shakespeare nerd, and wants to work with other Shakespeare nerds.
