A 3-WEEK INTENSIVE

TRAINING PROGRAM

Imagine this scene: You are chatting about your acting scene with a fellow actor, sipping cool water as the sun sets in a pastel-painted panorama amongst the monolithic red rocks of the northern Arizona desert. The air is cooling off and as you begin some vocal exercises the sounds echo off the nearby juniper trees and walls of natural rock. You are in a serenely magical place honing the skills you need to perform Shakespeare’s works, connecting with other theatre students and professionals while growing artistically and professionally.

This scene will be reality for an extraordinary three weeks in the rich beauty and cultural diversity of Sedona, Arizona.
