DAVID HENDERSON’S ‘MISCAST’ WORKSHOP

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

Have you dreamed of playing Hamlet but have only ever been considered for Ophelia? Constantly playing the old codger but you have always thought you'd make a great Juliette? Yearn to transcend binary limitations? Break typecasting with Miscast, an exploration in your secret- or not so secret- dream roles. Create an opportunity where others have denied you to express yourself through non-traditional casting. Chase the dream to play any character you want to be with scenes and monologues.
