VISIONBOX
CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Each year since our founding, we offer scene study classes in five-week sequences that culminate in at least one performance. These acting classes are taught by Jennifer McCray Rincón and are based in graduate-level study. The fall sequences specifically emulate first and second-year MFA training, beginning with Chekhov, Ibsen, and Strindberg, classical realism, and then moving into Shakespeare. We call this our certificate program.

Shakespeare Scene Study &
Solo Performance
ALL CLASSES HELD AT: 7108 E Lowry Blvd, Denver, CO 80230
This class is an advanced acting class, but can also be taken by students earlier in their careers and actor training. John Barton’s Playing Shakespeare is the textbook for this sequence. Rules of scansion, articulated thought, and complex character will be some of the focus of this intensive. All students will work on soliloquies and sonnets initially, before moving into scene study from the Shakespeare canon. There will also be an introduction to the development of solo performance pieces.
All new actors must submit a headshot and resume to info@visionbox.org and will audition with Artistic Director Jennifer McCray Rincón and the Visionbox team.
Classes are Monday - Friday from 6-9pm

American & British Comedy
ALL CLASSES HELD AT: 7108 E Lowry Blvd, Denver, CO 80230
We will be looking at American and British Playwrights including Tom Stoppard, Martin McDonagh, Caryl Churchill, Neil Simon (The Odd Couple), Christopher Durang (Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike), Sarah Ruhl (Clean House, & The Melancholy Play), David Mamet, Tony Kushner, Bella and Samuel Spewack (Boy Meets Girl), Harold Pinter, and possibly some work on comedic Shakespearean scenes and monologues. This class will examine the Actors’ 5 Questions in the context of American and British comedies. While classes always focus on character transformation, and the playing of objectives and actions, like Shakespeare class, there will be some in depth examination of more technical skills and text analysis necessary to play comedy at a high level, i.e. comic timing, given circumstances, comedy of character, comic language, comic play structure, irony, and physical comedy.
