Hi Guys!

I hope that you've been enjoying your summer :)  Here is your first info for our upcoming fall play, A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Auditions will be held September 12-13, 2018, with callbacks on Friday September 14th.

You will need to prepare a brief Shakespearean monologue, either of your choosing or from one of the selections listed below.  You may also choose another selection from A Midsummer Night's Dream, or from any of Shakespeare's other plays.  It should be roughly 1 minute to 90 seconds in length.  Please avoid very long selections.

Please click the link below to view some possible selections from the show.

Here are the roles in the play:

  • Oberon—King of the Fairies *doubles as Theseus
  • Titania—Queen of the Fairies *doubles as Hippolyta
  • Robin "Puck" Goodfellow—a sprite with magical powers
  • Peasblossom, Cobweb, Moth, Mustardseed and others—fairy servants to Titania and will double as the court to Hippolyta and Theseus
