Shakespeare Masterclasses

Each year at LAMDA, we begin our US Shakespeare Masterclass Tour, hosted by LAMDA's expert tutors, including Rodney Cottier and Nick Hutchison.

We offer in-person (and online where necessary) masterclasses designed to inspire university and college students across the US.

We also host a select number of masterclasses here in London. If you are a group interested in coming to LAMDA for a masterclass, please contact us to enquire.

Enquire about Masterclasses

The masterclass gives a taste of LAMDA's exhilarating training to students. Drawing on their extensive experience as working professionals and teachers of acting, text and stage combat, our tutors lead exciting, engaging and educational sessions. 

The masterclasses are tailored to the level of the class, and are suitable for those with either tons of or no experience with Shakespeare!

Meet the Tutors

We tour the US on a four-yearly rotation by region. During each tour we endeavour to arrange community masterclasses, which are open to professional actors and theatre companies.

We also offer masterclasses coinciding with our Audition Tour in March each year, where we visit a number of cities across the North America. In 2025, we plan to visit various locations across North America.
