Another in our series of Workshops on Theatre Skills this summer:  Speaking in Dialects, presented by Adam Schuler.  On Tuesday 21 July 2015, starting at 7:30 PM.

Adam Schuler is the director of our upcoming production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood.  This show is done in the traditional style of the British Musical Hall, and it stages the last unfinished novel of the great Victorian era writer Charles Dickens.  So various forms of English accents will be used in the show.  If you plan to audition for the show, this will help you with an important skill.  Or if you simply want to sound so cultured to American ears, this workshop will be a great deal of fun!

There is a nominal fee of $5 per person for each workshop, payable at the door with cash or check.
