Midsummer Callback Sides

Hi Guys!  Here are the callback sides for Midsummer (posted before the callback list will be posted this evening-just in case you wanted to look ahead at the material for any characters that interest you!)

Please check the sides below carefully-some characters will need to read multiple sides.  If you are called back for a role that is in parentheses for a scene, the side is for the other character listed previously, and you may not be asked to read (or the reading may be done by an audition reader for the sake of time).  Please let me know if you have any questions!

Note that Quince, Snug, Starveling, Bottom, Flute, Snout are known in the play as "The Mechanicals" (the group of actors).  They all play themselves as actors as well as playing a role in the play within a play.

2018-2019 Theatre Season

Hopewell Valley Central High School

Performing Arts Season 2018-2019

Our Fall Play this year is William Shakespeare’s

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Set during the summer of love, 1969, this version of the classic tale features the music of the late 1960s along with the original text of the play.  Join Puck as he invokes you to “Dream a Little Dream of Me” as the story unfolds both in the modern world of the 60s and the bohemian forest life of the faeries.  Featuring a large and colorful cast of characters, including hapless lovers, jealous faeries, and a group of actors rehearsing a play for a royal wedding, this tale of love and loss unfolds over the course of two days, and will truly be a show to remember.

Audition Dates: September 12-13, 2018

Callbacks: Friday September 14, 2018.  

Performance Dates: November 2-3, 2018.

The 2019 CHS Winter Musical is Chicago.  

In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal. This sharp-edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.

Audition Dates: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, November 26-28

Callbacks: Friday November 30, 2018..  

Performance Dates: March 1-2, 8-9, 2019.
