AN EXPLORATION OF RACE AND SHAKESPEARE
This series will bring together scholars and artists for probing conversations about race and Shakespeare in order to grow our understanding of the many ways in which "classical" theatre and how we pursue it in America exposes and intersects with issues of social justice, systemic racism, equity, and the perpetuation of White supremacy culture while simultaneously offering a lens through which to imagine and embody positive change.
These intimate, small-class sessions focus on the creative process, guided by our extraordinary cohort of ASC artists. Join the fall semester; space is limited!
While the cost of creating theatre remains the same, our ability to generate revenue from ticket sales is greatly limited. We ask that you help us save a space.
