Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Welcome to the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company 2019 Apprentice Program! Please take your time to fill out the following survey. We find that the actors who take the most away from the Apprentice program are those that come in with specific ideas about their training and specific goals that they want to accomplish. The process of cataloging this information can serve to help you identify your own specific strengths, areas to explore and needs from training. Your teachers will also use this information to help guide class work and feedback. This form is intended to provide an accurate picture of how you view your training and career and where you’d like to grow during the summer. We are interested in your honest thoughts about your strengths AND weaknesses. Your answers here will not affect any casting decisions but will help start a more comprehensive conversation about your individual needs and goals with your teachers and directors and be a vital resource throughout your time with us this summer. Please take time to answer thoughtfully and thoroughly. The information will only be shared with the Apprentice Program Director and Coordinator, the Showcase Directors and the teaching faculty. *Check to awknowledgeName *FirstLastTrainingList any previous classes in acting, voice, and Shakespeare.

A rating of “1” would indicate that you consider your voice to be untrained with at least a few bad habits or obstacles to overcome and a rating of “5” would indicate that you consider yourself to be well trained and experienced in that area. Tell us a little about why you chose the rating you did. Secondly, please provide one specific challenge you face and one specific strength you have in each area.
