The SL Shakespeare Company will be holding a round of open auditions for our upcoming Hamlet productions, the earliest of which opens on 4/23, with rehearsals beginning in early April. (In addition, we may also be performing a non-Hamlet scene in May. More details to come.) Play: Hamlet Time: Sunday, 3/30 at high noon SLT Order: on a "first come, first act" basis. Directions: Please be prepared to read a passage of your choice of the character you wish to perform, a passage of our choice of the same character, and possibly, an unrelated scene of our choice. (In addition, you may also show us a passage from another Shakespearean play.) Criteria: Quality, availability, and SL Voice/mic clarity (sorry!). Evidence that you've practiced your lines a bit and are familiar enough with your character to do well on our "pop quiz" may help ;-). Technical Help: Please arrive an hour early (11 AM, SL Time) if you need help setting up, tweaking, or configuring your microphone for SL voice performances. Also: Please email production@SLshakespeare.com with your availability for rehearsals beginning in early April. We will automatically add you to our repertory cast list, but that does not necessarily mean you get a role. (For those on the repertory cast, we will contact you prior to each production.) We currently use a repertory cast system, where we will contact actors on a list prior to rehearsals for each production. Please note that the auditions are public, and we do hope to keep your voice on file (unless you specifically opt out) on a public "SL Theatre Open Audition Database": http://STOAD.SLshakespeare.com ---SLSC Casting Directors http://SLshakespeare.com
