Age Range: 16 and up.

 

Preparation

·         Actors may either perform a 6-8 line Shakespearean monologue of their choosing or any one of the monologues found on the Elden Street Players' website, under the page for Midsummer.  (Memorization is welcome, but not required.)

·         Wear clothes that are presentable, but that you are able to move comfortably in.

·         In addition, actors that play an instrument or sing are welcome to prepare 8-16 bars of song.  (Singers must perform acapella.)

Bring with you

·         Your calendar!  All those auditioning will be asked to provide a complete list of all their conflicts between August 22nd and November 13th.

·         An open mind!  Midsummer is a comedy about fairies and love potions…things get very silly, very fast!

 

Casting Note

Almost all actors will be playing multiple roles in the show.  It will be important that actors demonstrate an ability to make strong character choices and adapt quickly and comfortably between roles.

 

Rehearsals

Actors can expect to have rehearsal approximately 3-4 days/evenings per week during August and September.  Once we reach October, rehearsals will slowly increase in frequency leading up to the opening on October 21.
