The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s one-year Academy special for Classical Acting is a unique graduate course of study that confers a Master of Fine Arts degree in Classical Acting through The George Washington University. Last season’s 14-member Class of 2014 marked the 14th anniversary of the program. In all, 228 talented ACA graduates have gone on to television and film work and to many of the best theatres in the U.S., including the Shakespeare Theatre Company, The Kennedy Center, Folger Theatre, Arena Stage, , Goodman Theatre, Oregon Shakespeare Festival events and more than 200 others. Every summer, the ACA produces two classical plays in repertory as part of the students’ final projects. In June 2014, the ACA staged Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, directed by Robert Richmond, and Webster’s , directed by Rod Menzies. Other highlights of the year included a visit from Stacy Keach for an in-depth discussion with our participants and showcase performances in Washington, D.C. and New York City for industry professionals. ACA students greatly benefit from the growing scholarship support of the Emerging Classical Artists Fund. The large amount of work—both in and outside of the classroom— that the demanding ACA curriculum requires prevents degree candidates from working during their tenure at The George Washington University. To assist in curbing the costs associated with pursuing their MFA, the Emerging Classical Artists Fund provides merit awards to ACA students to support them while they earn their degrees. The Fund endeavors to ensure the future of classical theatre in America by sustaining the training of the next generation of classical actors.
