About 10 years ago, actor Michael Kelly came up with an idea for a
cool Shakespearean teaching tool. What if he could share online videos
of actors and drama teachers performing the Bard's works as a way to
inspire budding thespians?
Technologically, the concept was a little ahead of its time but has
finally been realized with Thursday's launch of the Shakespeare in
Action Virtual Lab.

plans, videos of tutorials and rehearsal techniques, and a karaoke
feature so students have a virtual partner to practice lines from
Hamlet, Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet.
