Brush Up Your Shakespeare — audition for Twelfth Night at UMass Theater

Shakespeare returns to the UMass Theater mainstage season this spring, and auditions are happening soon! Director Milan Dragicevich is seeking a cast of performers for our production of Twelfth Night. In addition to Milan, the creative team will include composer/musician Tim Eriksen (Cordelia’s Dad, the Cold Mountain soundtrack).

Auditions are open to EVERYONE who wants to participate in the telling of a magical tale.

Auditions are Feb. 12 & 13 in the Rand Theater, Bromery Center for the Arts, and are open to Five College and community performers as well as UMass Theater members.

The show will run in the Rand Theater April 26-May 4.

Audition details:
Please prepare a 1 – 1 1/2 minute Shakespearean monologue (verse or prose), as well as a 1-minute excerpt from a song of any style, period, or genre. The key point for both monologue and song is the opportunity for vivid expression, storytelling, and communication. (Please adhere to time limits for monologue/song.) And…have FUN. Auditions are open to everyone who would like to participate in the telling of this magical tale!

Synopsis:
Lovers find one another as mistaken identities abound, lost bonds are magically restored, boisterous passions are exhausted, and the swirling music plays on and on and on. Shakespeare’s comedy is full of whimsy and wordplay, humor both clever and crass, and larger-than-life characters who are complex, human, and intimate. We invite you to join us for the Elizabethan festival of epiphany, when the world is turned upside down in a long night of revelry that takes players and audience alike on a journey through the heights and depths of the human emotional experience.
