I am happy to assist you with specific audition monologues or simply work with you to make the language more accessible. Using tools from John Barton’s verse studies, I can show you how Shakespeare’s verse and language work for—never against—the actor. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have been performing and working in professional Shakespeare companies for 25 years and currently am a full time company member and Managing Director for Ohio Shakespeare Festival in Akron, Ohio. I have a passion for Shakespearean language as studied by the actor (not the scholar), and my teaching style is direct and actionable. Please learn a little more about me here: <a href="http://www.ohioshakespearefestival.com/resident-staff/">http://www.ohioshakespearefestival.com/resident-staff/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">$25/hour if you can meet me in downtown Akron at the Ohio Shakespeare Festival theatre. $35/hour if you need me to drive to you (possibly more if you are quite far away).
