Professional actors will conduct master classes,
teaching the principles of vocal projection, diction, text
analysis, verse management, character portrayal and self-
staging techniques. The workshops, open to a maximum
of 20 students, will culminate with a staged reading
of scenes from Shakespeare showcasing the trainees’
development as classical actors, and will be open to the
public. Each student will take away a classic monologue
to use in auditions.
Fellow Shakespeare Troupe teaching artists, who
specialize in voice, movement and music will join Galman
in conducting the five-hour sessions.
“More workshops and classes are in the works for
actors of all ages,” Galman says. “And we are pleased
to announce they will take place in our new home, Boca
