Each year, The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's multi-tiered Summer Professional Training Program offers students from across the United States and abroad clear instruction, individual attention, and thoughtful and candid evaluation in a professional theatre environment.

Training is offered in every aspect of the theatre, from acting and directing to arts administration and theatrical design. Participants learn to strive for excellence, and to relish the exuberance that comes from achieving it, within the context of an acclaimed regional theatre.

More advanced training for early-career actors is also available through our Non-Equity Company and Shakespeare LIVE! touring company.
