# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ready for some ShakesPlay? 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Jul, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 05:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Come learn that Shakespeare can be fun, not what you remember from school.  Gary Meitrott Unlimited and his School of Outrageous Shakespeare will offer an intensive 8-week course, starting Tuesday, July 7, 2026. 

Under Gary Meitrott’s direction, Shakespeare is not what you remember in high school.  Meitrott believes that Shakespeare was meant to be seen and heard, not just read. He allows students to “become other”: to feel all of the emotions and personality of the character they are playing. Another important dynamic is that of being fully alive in your body. We will work with movement, pulling aspects from Comedia del Arte as a discipline, integrating hand and arm gestures, skeletal alignment, walking, eye contact, and voice production.

So, if you’re ready to Tame the Text and act in the Bard’s Lambic Playground, come join us for this special course. The classes will be held on Tuesdays, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, in Rhythm Hall on the 2nd floor of Building 5 at the Howe Center, Rutland, VT. Ages 18 and up. For more information, please contact Gary at 802-0282-2581, or email Gary_Meitrott@comcast.net. 

Gary Meitrott, artistic director and co-founder of Shakespeare on Main Street, is a former Broadway actor.  He has been passionately immersed in Shakespeare’s work for many decades. However, the past decade has seen Gary delve further into understanding how to perform Shakespeare’s text. “My passion sets in motion joy, excitement and satisfaction to all that are drawn to acting.  I create a safe environment for individuals to experiment with self-imposed boundaries.”
