LALT is pleased to present auditions for our summer Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar, directed by Lindsey Gordon. Auditions will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m.Thursday, May 29, and 1-3 p.m. Saturday May 31, in Meeting Room 2/3 at Mesa Public Library (upstairs). Callbacks will be held Sunday, June 1. If these times do not work for you, please get in touch (contactlindseycg@gmail.com) to schedule an alternate time.
Performances will be held Aug. 7, 9, 14, 16 (evening) and Aug. 10 and 17 (matinee) outside of the Hans Bethe house (weather permitting).
LALT is looking for a cast of at least 16, of any gender and at minimum high-school aged. Cast members must be mature enough to handle stage combat safely and responsibly. Most of the cast will be playing multiple small roles, and everyone will have lines. Given the gender breakdown of the show (2 F/46 M), all cast members should be prepared to play men. (If this poses a difficulty, please contact the director.)
Auditions will consist of reading a choice of two monologues (Friends, Romans, countrymen or Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world), as well as sides from Act 2. PDFs are available below, but advance preparation and/or extensive experience with Shakespeare is not expected. It will not be necessary to stay for the entire audition block. The audition form can be filled out in advance here [link].
