CORIOLANUS
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Trevor Copp
Forced into the Senate by his over-bearing mother, the Achilles-like
Coriolanus does nothing to hide his disdain for democracy. Eventually
banished by his own people, this God of War does the only thing he
knows how to do: lead his own enemy's army to kill the very people
he serves. Shakespeare's tale of extreme betrayal is also one of his
bloodiest. It is a grand-scale story of militaristic pride, maternal
influence, and knowing who's got your back.
OUR TOWN
Written by Thornton Wilder
Directed by Jewels Krauss
As Wilder sought to make Our Town into everytown, he did more than strip away realistic sets and props. He made his setting a universal anywhere where things don't get in the way of ideas, where essence doesn't get lost in detail. A mix of human-sized joys (spring, sunsets, chocolate sodas, a simple wedding) and personal tragedies (a ruptured appendix, alcoholism, suicide, death in childbirth), this is a play of lyrical beauty. The joys and sorrows of Our Town are the stuff of now. And forever.

Summer Camp
During this camp, students will delve into the acting theories of Shakespeare, Stanislavski, and Boal. By developing scenes,
generated through the work of these theorists, students will gain insight into their own method of acting, and what works
best for them. The camp runs August 30-September 3 (Mon-Fri), with a final group performance on the closing day.
Registration is limited to 15 students.
Instructors include Nicholas Walsh and Trevor Copp.
Cost: $200 per student.
