Looking to cast two teenagers ages 16+ for "Twelfth Night". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACEPTED. About the project: Merriment, madness, and the music of love abound in Twelfth Night, one of Shakespeare’s funniest and most poignant comedies. Orsino, the lovesick Duke of Illyria, pines for the hand of the Countess Olivia, who has shut herself away for seven years of ritual mourning for her late brother. As she swears off even the slightest romantic advances, and as her pompous steward Malvolio also begins to secretly desire her, all hope seems to be lost… That is, until Viola, a survivor of a recent shipwreck swims ashore, disguises herself as a man, and gets a job delivering Orsino’s love letters to Olivia. The only problem? Olivia swiftly falls in love with Viola instead. Rate: Stipend between $350-600 depending on the size of the role.
