VOICES should be heard.

A space for performers to not only showcase their connection to Shakespeare, but show how that fits into their broader identities as artists and citizens. Each actor-created film finds its “voice” at the intersection of two performed pieces that amplify or challenge each other: one by Shakespeare and one from another source.

Our long-term goal for this project is for it to stand as an expanding example of the depth, breadth, and intersectionality of the talent pool that is far too underrepresented in American classical theatre.

Today, we welcome

Ezra is no stranger to NYSX. Perhaps you remember them from our workshop at the 2019 Shakespeare Association of America conference!
