Join us for an engaging and interactive workshop designed to hone your theatrical skills and help you feel more in control of your rehearsal process. The Community Theatre Acting Intensive event is an excellent opportunity for early career actors looking to take the next step. Hosted on August 16-17, 2025 at the Bartell Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin, this workshop invites 10 actors to immerse themselves in a safe environment, guided by seasoned professionals, to play with some performance and rehearsal tools and to flex their muscles a little bit.
Using Shakespeare’s text as a base over the course of two days we will cover:
Rhetoric – breaking down text to use it more effectively.
Movement – exercises to bring you to neutral before rehearsal/shows and exercises to help build out character postures and movement on that neutral base.
Vocal – exercises to build a warm-up practice for breath and vocals and strategies for making strong vocal choices.
Strategies – for staying on track and in control of the work you need to accomplish in rehearsal.
This is not an audition class.
This is not a class about emotive acting.
This is a class about getting better and more efficient at everything else to free up rehearsal time for the rest of the work.
This class will be physical and demanding of your voice.
It is intended for adults and no participants under 18 will be allowed.
The 10-hour intensive is presented by director and historian Dr. Christina Gutierrez-Dennehy of Western Washington University, artist and educator Judd Farris, and Madison-based performer Travis Bedard (Madison Shakespeare Company, Mercury Players, Madison Public Theatre).
