Throughout 2024
drama Programs—for grown ups!
Become part of our repertory: Join in the fun and perform on the Blackfriars Stage along with ASC Education Artists and other special guests. “No Kidding” programming happens throughout the year, where adult theatre lovers meet to read, rehearse, and perform classic plays!
“NO KIDDING” PROGRAMMING
No Kidding Drama Club: The No Kidding Drama Club meets to read and rehearse a classic play once a week over the course of one month, with a final staged reading at the Blackfriars Playhouse on the last day. Sessions happen throughout the year, see below for information on the next session.
No Kidding Shakespeare Camp: This special weeklong program happens once each summer. Adult thespians of all experience levels are invited to spend a week strutting and fretting their hour upon the stage in a program that blends performance training with academic enrichment. You will get a crash course in all the skills that ASC actors use in professional productions in a low-stakes, Renaissance-style (ensemble directed), week-long rehearsal process culminating in a staged reading performance.
Suitable for participants aged 18+
