We are seeking High School aged MEN enthusiastic about Performance to join our company as Wenches & Knaves. Participants will benefit from workshops with highly qualified classical actors, tickets to shows and sometimes even onstage experience! The students work in areas of character development, text work, personal voice, and improvisation.
Wenches and Knaves will, in turn, help SSC promote shows and sell souvenirs. The students
represent SSC on the streets of the valley in full Shakespearean costume. They can be seen performing the Bard’s best work guerilla-style at festivals and entertaining unsuspecting patrons. Drivers License is a plus!
