Classically trained through the presitgious Hilberry Theatre at Wayne State University and former Artistic Directer of Water Works Theatre, Michigan's Oldest and Largest Professional Outdoor Shakespeare Company, Jeff Thomakos brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to any Shakespeare class. 

​

The goal of his Shakespeare classes is to enable the student-artist to approach Shakespeare as a LIVING artist, learning to pick up subtle directorial clues written within the text, and creating strong Shakespearean characterizations worthy of his heightened language and situations.
