Each season, Red Bull Theater provides a series of Classical Acting Masterclasses that provide adults of all levels of training or experience the opportunity to interact with and learn from some of the finest artists working in the classical theater. We also provide informative post-performance Bull Sessions for all of our readings and productions, giving audiences a chance to discuss the work with the artists involved. COVID-19 had put a temporary stop to all that. So we’re going virtual with RemarkaBULL Podversations. These informal, online conversations will investigate approaches to essential passages from the Shakespearean and Jacobean canon―and beyond.
