Auditions for Hamlet II (Better Than the Original), directed by Dave Block, are scheduled for May 23 & 24,Wednesday and Thursday evenings, from 6 to 8:30. The play runs from July 6 - 29 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 and Sunday afternoons at 3. It is a mad and zany parody of Shakespeare's tragedy with a much happier ending. Also included are the loves, hates, sword fights, poetry, religion, treachery and deceit that go with the territory as well as occasional stabs at the meaning of life.

 

Auditions are held at ACT Studio Theatre. No preparation of material is necessary. You will be asked to read from the script of the play to be auditioned for, in dialogue with others.

In community theatre, many factors are considered in the choice of a cast. Some of these are: 1) willingness and ability to commit to all rehearsals and performances, 2) balance of compatible characters that has the potential of being a cast "family", 3) the director's best guess of the "learning curve" of an individual, 4) indication of intense motivation and willingness to try out possibilities suggested by the director (willingness to try is more important than "perfection").

 

We truly appreciate your taking the time and making the effort to come to auditions. We hope you will come back another time if you are not cast. We would love to have you help with the show in another capacity if you wish.
