Please bring a short (10 lines or less) piece of Shakespearean text if
at all possible, and be ready to read sides from the play. Also, if
you sing, play an instrument, or have any other wacky talents to
share, bring them along or let us know!
Shakespeare's final great masterpiece. A work of magic, mayhem, and
mystery. An all-powerful sorcerer's goodbye to his art. A play about
plays, about creation, about spirits and demons, and about a little
island lost in a soundless sea...
Come be a part of this physical, magical interpretation of THE
TEMPEST! If you require an alternate audition date or have any
questions about the production, please email Sara Holdren at allforhecuba@gmail.com
