This year for the very first time, Mudlark Theater will be in the Evanston 4th of July Parade! In this workshop we will design, build and decorate a fantabulous contraption for the parade all week and then march in the parade with our creation on Friday!
Love Shakespeare? Hate Shakespeare? Want to figure out how you feel about Shakespeare? In this class, we will do some in-depth work on a short Shakespeare scene or monologue. Actors will receive their parts before class begins, so that we can dig deep right away(NOTE- final showing is on THURSDAY 7/10).

Get ready to scribble, paste, cut, dream, sew, imagine, write and illustrate. In this workshop you will write and craft your own literary works of art. Each day will feature a fresh story or poem idea and a new manuscript format to explore and explode.
A second week of Bookmaking! See Week 4 for description.

In this workshop, we will examine what makes a myth a myth. Can it be modern? From the future? Create a mask and then discover how your mythic character moves through a series of guided improvisational movement exercises and then introduce your character to the world!

Hello Actors,
On Tuesday I would like to see everyone in costume…so we can trouble shoot any missing/ ill fitting pieces. Wear proper undergarments where necessary . Please bring dress shoes if you have them. Also, anyone wearring shorts (boys, you know who you are) please bring light colored knee socks if you have them. Ladies in long dresses, please wear a dress shoe with a heal. Dark colors please.
Tuesday will be the time to mention if you have any ‘final requests’. Present these requests in writing, don’t wait to the last minute….the more time I have, the better your chances of having your request honored. The request to not wear a head scarf will be ‘denied’. As will the request to wear long pants if you are Kieran, Jacob, Andy or Nathanial….the shorts are a serious design choice. Either that or you are all very cute in them. I still have not decided. See you soon.
Thanks, Tina
