Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum - PREPPing for a Dream

This summer, I’ve been playing Cobweb in the 53rd year of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, as well as a member of their PREPP program (Professional Repertory Education and Performance Program).

The PREP Program has a significant educational aspect with participants receiving 40+ hours of classes including vocal and body work, scansion and rhetoric, and monologue classes to name but a few.

As part of PREPP, I rehearsed and performed scenes from Othello and Sophocles’ Elektra, as well as a monologue by Joan La Pucelle from Henry VI, Part I.
