"All the world’s a stage"—Auditions for As You Like It (Summer 2008)
Would you like to frolic in the forest of Arden? Then come to the auditions for Shakespeare’s As You Like It, Wednesday and Thursday, May 28 and 29, at 7:00 p.m. at the Four County Players Theater in Barboursville, with callbacks on Friday May 30 if needed. If you can’t attend at those times, auditions by appointment may be arranged (e-mail requests to bardalot@gmail.com ).
There are parts for four women and from nine to twelve men, depending on possible doubling, from high school to AARP age.
Actors who can sing and play guitar are strongly encouraged to audition.
Come prepared to do cold readings from the play and to deliver from memory a monologue of about 15 lines from any Shakespearean comedy. Or you may recite from memory either Sonnet 18 (“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”) or Sonnet 130 (“My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun”). If you sing or play guitar, come prepared to sing and play.
Rehearsals begin June 1. Performances will run weekends from July 24 through August 9.
