Advanced training in Shakespeare for Young Performers 13-18
at Shakespeare Squadron (Shakespeare Festival Saint Louis) in St. Louis, MO
Advanced training in Shakespeare for Young Performers 13-18
Placement by Audition
What: AUDITIONS for a Spring Performance Workshop presented by Shakespeare Squadron, Shakespeare Festival Saint Louis’ Advanced Teen Acting Ensemble. We will workshop and perform three 30-minute adaptations of Shakespeare plays: Richard III, As You Like It and A Winter’s Tale.
When: BY APPOINTMENT ONLY on Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 6:45-9:00 p.m. For more info or to schedule an audition appointment, please email Elana Kepner, Shakespeare Squadron Instructor, at shakessquad@sfstl.com.
Where: Union Avenue Christian Church, 733 Union Boulevard, St. Louis, MO, 63108-1037
Who: Young artists ages 13-18 (grades 9-12), who love Shakespeare and acting and want to be involved in this unique, high-quality theatre experience. We are looking for a cast of 20 students. Each actor will be cast in ALL THREE adaptations. Priority casting will be given to returning fall semester Shakespeare Squadron members, in good standing, so we have a limited number of available roles for newcomers. Fall Shakespeare Squadron members are not required to audition, but may if they wish to show the instructors a different side of their acting or growth since December.
What to Bring: A memorized, short (20 lines or less) Shakespeare monologue, in verse or Shakespeare sonnet. We may ask you to cold read. NOTE: Fall Shakespeare Squadron members who wish to be seen at auditions must prepare a new piece, not the one we worked on in class.
Please bring a list of any CONFLICT DATES (standardized tests, school activities, planned vacations, college visits, etc.) you may have planned for the spring semester.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Participation in this workshop requires an assured commitment of time and energy. Rehearsals are required and work on the pieces should be a priority during the program. Consistent attendance and outside preparation must be coordinated as a priority along with other school activities, sports, school plays and family events.
Rehearsal and Performance Schedule: Thursdays 5:30-8:30 p.m. and Saturdays 1-4pm, from February 24 - April 2, 2011. Tech Week schedule: April 4, 5, 6, and 7, from 5:30-9:30pm. Performance schedule: April 8, 9 and 10, 2011.
Cost: $250, with some limited opportunities for work-study, financial aid and scholarships.

Details: “Three-Piece Shakes Suite” will be an evening of theater featuring three 30-minute Shakespeare adaptations, each with a full cast. Each student would be cast in all three adaptations: one in a leading role and/or a role that plays to their strengths, one in a supporting role and/or character role that stretches their abilities, and one ensemble role. Three directors, Elana Kepner, Christopher Limber and Michael Perkins, will guide an adaptation and challenge the students with different theatrical styles.
Shakespeare Squadron was launched in the fall 2010 with Education Director Christopher Limber and festival Teaching Artist and actress, Elana Kepner. This once-weekly, Shakespeare master-class is for students in grades 9 - 12 who are interested in advanced, college-level work on text, poetry, acting technique, movement, voice, creating a character and ensemble theater. The 14-member Fall Ensemble was challenged with intensive monologue work, as well as voice, movement and acting projects, which culminated in an performance of monologues for family and friends. The Spring Performance Workshop will build on the work done in the fall, with the Squadron members applying their skills and acting techniques to a rehearsal and performance project.
