Casting Teen Performers for "The Winter’s Tale" Play

Ages 16 and up are welcome to audition for "The Winter’s Tale" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: It includes murderous passions, man-eating bears, princes and princesses in disguise, death by drowning and by grief, oracles, betrayal, and unexpected joy. Yet the play, which draws much of its power from Greek myth, is grounded in the everyday. A “winter’s tale” is one told or read on a long winter’s night. Paradoxically, this winter’s tale is ideally seen rather than read—though the imagination can transform words into vivid action. Its shift from tragedy to comedy, disguises, and startling exits and transformations seem addressed to theater audiences. Rate: All actors will be paid a stipend. Additional info: Auditions will consist of a one- to two-minute Shakespeare monologue of your choice. Callbacks will consist of cold readings from the script. Please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your scheduled time. Callbacks: Monday, March 2nd, and Tuesday, March 3rd. Show dates: June 5th – July 12th Rehearsals will begin in April. If interested, please apply.
