Everyone auditioning needs to sign up for an audition time, fill out an audition form, and have one or two monologues (or a comedic Shakespeare monologue of your choice) from the audition materials prepared.
Please prepare one or two of the following monologues or a comedic Shakespeare monologue of your choice. You should be familiar with the monologues but they do not need to be memorized.
Double the trouble, double the fun! Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud farce filled with mistaken identities, wild misunderstandings, and chaotic comedy. When two sets of long-lost twins unknowingly find themselves in the same city, madness ensues—complete with wrongful arrests, romantic mix-ups, and plenty of slapstick hilarity. Will the confusion ever be sorted out? Join us for an evening of timeless wit, clever wordplay, and non-stop entertainment in one of Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedies!
