The Classic Theatre of Maryland is offering workshops as a follow up to their 2:00 PM performance of Romeo and Juliet.

Led by Donald Hicken, Classic Theatre of Maryland’s Tony-Nominated and Helen-Hayes Award Winning Board Chair. This participatory session focuses on two types of challenges Shakespeare makes with his character portraits and his poetic dialogue. Two speeches from Romeo and Juliet will be examined for the unique tasks they present to actors interpreting the roles of Lord Capulet and Mercutio.

The mission of the Classic Theatre of Maryland is to produce bold, re-imagined, entertaining and accessible interpretations of classical works, contemporary plays, and musicals with a core commitment to the works of Shakespeare and other major dramatists. CTM is committed to promoting the highest level of artistic excellence, to cultivating the widest possible audience, and to contributing to the economic and cultural growth of our community, state, and region.
