Review for Shakespeare & Company, Inc., Lenox, MA, USA
Transformative. I've taken various training programs over the years since 1983, when I took my first Linklater voice class with Andrea Haring. I've done two month-long intensives, and assisted the amazing Tina Packer on a production. Their work has informed my aesthetic, challenged me to think about Shakespearean performance in new ways, and introduced me to other producers, performers and scholars that shape my rehearsal process. Since working with Shakespeare & Company I have co-founded two Shakespeare Festivals, and am running one of them now. Shake & Co. is a treasure. I highly recommend their company.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
compassionate, brave, intelligent, educated, sensitive to current events and visionary.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
build the first replica of The Rose theater creating opportunities for new scholarship and discover. (And employment for many.) It could offer scholarships to talented professionals who need new skills in order to reach their full potential.
