Shakespeare Under the Stars is supported in part by grants from The EmilyAnn Theatre was founded to provide a permanent home for Shakespeare Under the Stars (SUS), now in its 20th season (and its 11th season at the EmilyAnn). Shakespeare Under the Stars is a unique educational program that offers middle and high school students the opportunity to study and perform one or two of Shakespeare's plays. Students audition in May and memorize their lines before they arrive in late June. All actors are high school age or younger. Students select an area of technical theatre (set, costuming, or lighting) on which to focus. College interns and theatre professionals mentor students in acting and the technical theatre areas. With guidance from the Artistic Director and interns, students aid in the construction of the costumes and sets. When not working on their assigned technical area, students rehearse with their director, working on acting and the understanding of Shakespeare's plays. The 6-week experience culminates with the production of 12 performances of full-length plays. The goals of Shakespeare Under the Stars are to foster a love, appreciation, and understanding of Shakespeare's works, enable students to assist in producing a full-length Shakespearean play, provide students with a solid background in theatre industry practices and safety standards, and build students' self-confidence, team-work skills, leadership skills, and competence in theatre arts. Since 2006, Shakespeare Under the Stars has been under the Artistic Direction of Joe Aldridge, Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of Las Vegas. In 2009, Bridget Farias, who holds a BFA in Acting and Directing from Texas State, will also return to SUS to direct The Winter's Tale. 2008 Shows For more information on our 2008 shows, click here for "The Comedy of Errors" and click here for "King Lear".
