The time preceding a concert is full of excitement for both musicians and staff. SDYS provides musicians with call times so they can acclimate to the exciting environment with peers, and so SDYS staffers will know in advance that the entire ensemble is present and ready for an exciting evening of music making! Students are required to arrive at their respective call times. Please note that all musicians will be released from the

Summer Shakespear Studio
It's that time of year again - applications are now LIVE for The Old Globe's Summer Shakespear Studio.
Through a month-long process, students receive an intensive curriculum of acting, movement, music, and writing classes as well as training in voice and speech, stage combat, and text. Master classes are offered with Globe artists and staff, many of whom are among the leaders in their fields. These instructors seek to deepen students' understanding and appreciation of Shakespeare's writing and to use his work as a model for engaging the students with their own experiences. The Studio also incorporates non-Shakespearean material, such as modern music, original texts, and the participants' own freewrites, in which the group brainstorms topics essential to the story, then breaks out to discover different ways to express them.
Cost: $725
Registration Deadline: April 1, 2017

July 17 - August 14
