Shakespeare Chattanooga Producing Director Janis Hashe is leading two summer classes designed for actors.
* Yoga for Actors: This six-week class will focus on the benefits yoga delivers performers. No previous yoga experience is required. Classes will meet on Saturday mornings, June 5 to July 10, from 11 a.m. to noon, at the Well Nest in East Ridge. Cost is $7 a class, or $35 for six weeks. Class is limited to eight people.
* Shakespeare for the Elizabethan-Impaired: Ms. Hashe created this class 10 years ago for people who would like to get to know The Bard better, usually after having been turned off to his work while in school.
Three plays will be covered: “Much Ado About Nothing,” “Richard III” and “Macbeth.” Classes will include reading aloud, talking about the play’s history and context, as well as discussing Elizabethan theater and the writer.
Classes will meet on Tuesday nights, June 29 to Aug. 3, from 7 to 9:30, at 200 Talley Road. Cost is $50. Class is limited to 10 people.
