In lieu of monologues, I'm interested in hearing how you connect with the text and how you interpret it. The evening will consist of readings. If there is a particular side you'd like to read and you didn't get the chance to, let me know and we will make sure you do get to read it!

A Show by Any Other Name
For Auditions we would like actors to either have twelve lines of a Shakespeare Monologue or a Nursery or other Rhyme memorized.
From the Director, Bailey Shearer: “I wish to invite you to a sampling of Shakespeare. Whether this is your first time, or 100th time, now's the time to jump in. We will work as a "company" to tell these stories. There will most likely be multiple roles for each individual. This is a chance to learn a new form of story telling through Shakespeare.”
