For three weeks, students live on a college campus, take classes with renowned scholars, train with ASC actors, rehearse with experienced directors, and collaborate with each other to mount a one hour performance of an early modern play. At ASCTC campers discover more about Shakespeare than they could ever learn in the classroom alone.
