EDUCATION & INCLUSION
What does performing Shakespeare teach us?
This program works at the crossroads of drama, English, and history. Our rehearsals are spent working on the show, playing improv games, delving into character and plot analysis, and learning Shakespearean history.
Inclusive Casting
In order to be as inclusive as possible, BNP considers all actors for all parts, and once they're cast, all actors pick the pronouns for their characters (he/she/they, etc.) and explore their character’s gender expression in costuming.
For more on this, check out our Gender & Shakespeare page!
Generous Acting
BNP actors learn to share the stage, each actor getting their spotlight moments, which makes the story of our play truly shine. We believe in the community and ensemble of Shakespearean theatre.
