Are you ready for the bard? Most of the greatest actors of stage and screen—from Meryl Streep to Denzel Washington—have taken their craft to another level by studying the work of William Shakespeare. In fact, Shakespeare is a great way to check out all the skills in the actor’s toolbox. Whether you’re brand new to acting or a seasoned pro, preparing a Shakespearian role is a fun, challenging, and rewarding way to build your confidence in front of an audience. And even today, Shakespeare’s kings, queens, soldiers, lovers, and fools are among the most interesting characters in dramatic literature. Come learn what it’s all about!

According to Dave Sewell, Youth Program Director, the mission of ActingKids@the Alley is to "create a performance-based learning experience that will provide our participants with a fun, expressive outlet; develop valuable skills through collaboration and creative interaction; foster awareness and sensitivity; and instill an appreciation and love of the art of Theatre."
Sewell is a Theatre graduate of the University of California, Riverside, and has been actively involved in all phases of Theatre for over 35 years. “What sets our program apart,” explains Sewell, “is that we provide the same training adult actors would be expected to receive, but in an age-appropriate setting. We’re not looking to train ‘stars;’ we’re looking for kids who are interested in learning the value of the arts in developing creative thinking and teamwork, having fun, and meeting new friends.
Whether your child is new to theatre or an old stagehand, all are welcome at ActingKids@the Alley. Reserve your place today! For more information, please refer to our website, www.beowulfalley.org. email Dave at youthprograms@beowulfalley.org or call the theatre at (520) 622-4460
