The Shakespeare Gym

The Shakespeare Gym is a place to develop strategies for acting Shakespeare. Through workshops and performances, Gym members learn to “suit the action to the word,” find acting cues in the text, and bring Shakespeare’s language to life. With online and in-person programming, the Gym offers a variety of ways to work out with Shakespeare’s plays.
