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 CommunityOn 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 OpportunitiesThose 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.
