The fun's just starting...

Fortunately for student audiences, the fun doesn't end at the curtain call of THE TEMPEST. Schools traveling to CSC have the option of staying for a post-show workshop led by the cast. Below are some pictures from those workshops.

Ito Aghayere and Jeena Yi field questions from the students.
The post-show workshop begins with a Q&A with the cast. Students have the opportunity to ask questions specific to the play, to acting, and to the technical aspects of the production. Many students ask questions to actors about their characters.

The students are then pitted against each other in a battle of Shakespearean proportions.  Each student picks three insults to hurl at their opponent.

Ito and Jeena help the students pick
the best and most heinous insults.
The students, armed with their new-found
Shakespearen language, are ready to do battle!

Sometimes the cast throws in a bonus activity! Check out this clip of Sheyenne Javonne Brown and the rest of the company leading the audience through a vocal warm-up they call "Zoo Whoa Shaw." Believe it or not, it uses every vowel and consonant sound in the English language!
