Audition Requirements
-
Vocal Audition: A song from or in the style of the show, please bring a 16-32 Bar audition cut that shows your storytelling skills! For this audition, music tracks are required. An accompanist will not be provided in the audition room.
-
Dance Call: A dance audition will follow vocal auditions. Bring comfortable clothing and shoes to move freely!

About the Auditions
A 1-3 minute prepared monologue is required. A classical (Shakespeare, Marlowe, Johnson, etc). is preferred; however, a contemporary piece is acceptable. There may be an added movement audition (dancing and/or sword footwork aptitude).
Don't be scared if you're new to Shakespeare. The cast will receive tutorials and assistance in dealing with his heightened language!
We aim to create a rehearsal process that is professional, collaborative, and fun—just like the show itself!
This production is led by an incredible creative team:
• Director: Matthew von Redlich
• Costumer: Joey Lay
