Audition Preparation: Brush Up Your Shakespeare! To keep things moving in the spirit of the show, please come prepared with a short Shakespearean monologue. We love the "Greatest Hits," so feel free to bring us:
Hamlet: "What a piece of work is man..."
Julius Caesar: "Friends, Romans, countrymen..."
Henry V: The "St. Crispin’s Day" speech
Or any other Shakespeare monologue you love!
Important Note: In the spirit of "abridging," be prepared to be cut short! Because we are expecting a high turnout, the director may stop you before you finish. Please do not take this personally or view it as a reflection of your performance; it is simply to ensure we have enough time to see everyone's potential.
No Monologue? No Problem. If you don’t have a monologue prepared, please still come out! You will be asked to read sides (scenes from the script) with other auditioners instead.
Character Descriptions:
3 actors ages 18+
Those auditioning should be somewhat familiar with the plays of Shakespeare and be comfortable with improvisation, physical contact, audience interaction, and possess the ability to make a complete fool of themselves while having a wonderful time doing it! Remember, this is an extremely fast paced and high energy show!
We foster a welcoming, low-pressure audition room. If you’re nervous — come anyway. We’re looking for energy, not perfection.
