Theatre Master Class, Workshop
October 27-29, 2011

High school and up

Aquila Theatre's mission is to make classical works accessible to the greatest number of people.

A play becomes "classical" because after a time it transcends the original culture in which it was created.

Aquila inspires people to come together to read, see and think about classical literature and how it continues to influence and invigorate American cultural life.

Master class focuses on the work of Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde.
