Open Auditions for
SHAKESPEARE'S R&J

Add event to calendar

Romeo and Juliet has been banned at a prep school. The students steal away at night to read the forbidden story of adolescent passion, and find themselves immersed in the tale that begins to blur with their own lives. As truths emerge, the relationship between the students and the play changes forever.

SEEKING: Four to eight actors who can play male and are physically comfortable with hand-to-hand stage combat.

PREPARE: Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to move. Please be prepared to read from the script.

SEEKING: teens ages 13-17

BEFORE YOUR CHILD AUDITIONS, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU SHOULD DISCUSS:

A play is a commitment of time and energy. Make sure you review the rehearsal and performance schedule in advance. Do you anticipate any conflicts with soccer, piano, or other activities? If so, it’s important to be honest and let the us know of conflicts in advance. If your child has multiple conflicts, you might also want to encourage your child to take on a less time-consuming position with the production. Remember, every contribution is important!

PREPARE

You’ll receive a scene from the script to read out loud when you arrive at the auditions.
