The Weekly Intensive requires some acting experience but neither require prior experience with Shakespeare, heightened text, or Stickwork.

The Scene Study course does require prior experience with acting Shakespeare or other playwrights using verse or heightened text and breaking the fourth wall.

For some courses, a virtual audition may be required.

To register or request an audition, email training@rudegrooms.com. Registration closes 72 hours in advance of the first class, but a waitlist is available for all classes.
