There are three parts to Shakespeare and Company; performance, education and professional actor training. Besides producing exciting performances of Shakespeare’s plays, as well as contemporary plays, offering educational programs for young people and teachers, Shakespeare and Company also trains professional actors in a variety of ways. There are month long intensives, weekend intensives, specialized study programs and programs for early career actors. The month long intensive programs are geared for performers of varying ages and backgrounds. Dennis Krausnick heads this program. We interviewed him and Riley Bartlebaugh, Program Manager, as the most recent program was drawing to a close in January
