Shakespeare Intensive Workshop on June 9th with Rosemary Tichler and Barry Hortwitz

An old friend just mentioned something to me that I will pass on to all the current and future actors that read my blog.

On June 9 & 10 there will be a Shakespeare Intensive Workshop by the producer of Shakespeare in the park and The Public Theatre, Rosemary Tichler and Barry Hortwitz.

Obviously it is difficult at best to become an actor. Adding to the difficulty level is the competition and the ability to stand out in a crowd. Perhaps there is nothing that quite makes a statement more than the use of Shakespeare in an audition, or to sharpen the acting abilities.

One of the most sought after roles emphasizing Shakespeare is the New York Shakespeare Festival in Central Park. Many well known actors got their start from stand-out roles there. And there is now an opportunity to connect with a 10 year Artistic Producer of this program, and noted director and producer Barry Horwitz.

Rosemarie Tichler has worked on productions including: Simpatico by Sam Shepard, Venus by Suzan-Lori Parks, George Wolfe's production of The Tempest at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, and Mike Nichols' production of Chekhov's The Seagull with Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Christopher Walken et al.

She has cast over 150 plays which include: Orchard, Richard Foreman's Threepenny Opera, For Colored Girls... by Ntozake Shange, Wilford Leach's Pirates Of Penzance, and more.

Ms. Tichler founded The Shakespeare Lab, now in its 14th year: an intensive program for actors in Shakespeare performance. Ms. Tichler has been teaching at New York University's Graduate Acting Program and The Juilliard School for 20 years.

Barry Horwitz, Professor of English and Drama, Saint Mary’s College of California, has taught Shakespeare, modern theatre, and contemporary literature for over thirty years at Univ. of California, Berkeley; Univ. of Paris (Sorbonne); and Univ. of Montpellier (France). He teaches “Shakespeare Today!” a course that opens Shakespeare’s texts to modern interpretations, and, this summer, is delivering a paper on “Politics & Modern Theater” at the “Conspiracy and Consent” conference in France. He has published papers on Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance and on teaching classical drama for our time.
