Open to participants aged 16 – 18, this program involves learning about Shakespeare and studying acting. Based at Oxford University, this three-week summer program immerses students in Shakespeare's world with two Acting classes (one emphasizing text, the other emphasizing character) and Cultural Studies focused on the Elizabethan era. Additional conservatory-style classes in Voice and Movement round out the training. Here, students develop their skills in the acting process, analysis, and critical thinking, helping them meet the challenges of applying for college or drama school.

There are excursions, with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, just two of the theatres visited during the program, each including a day trip for exploring.

Students have Masterclasses in Physical Theatre and Stage Combat delivered by leading British practitioners in these fields, along with actors and directors.
