The eight videos produced as part of our “Viral Shakespeare: The Second Wave” project will Premiere on Facebook from September 15-20. They will simultaneously publish on YouTube. YouTube Links are listed on our Media Archive-Videos Page. They won’t play until their publishing date/time. The video which premieres on each date will be a surprise. Video Titles and Directors include (random order): Double Double Broil and Trouble – Katherine Colman Echols Hamlet’s Quagmire – Ed Belsan All’s Well I,ii/iii – Paula Makar Words, Words, Words – Cassie Conley Lady M, Caught on Tape – Abri Geist-Dennis Don Your Mask – Jessica Gaddis Exit Pursued by a Bear – Leah Towle Comedy of Errors – Elizabeth Anderson
Via the Google form link, please submit contact information and a link to a self-taped video of two contrasting Shakespearean monologues. If you already have a self-taped video of two contrasting Shakespearean monologues, we welcome that. Please do not submit links to full productions or to video reels. If not, we have supplied within this Facebook event (and on our website) two lists of edited monologues. Please select one from the comedic list and one from the dramatic list. It is not essential to memorize for these auditions. Google Drive and Dropbox work well, (but be sure to set it to “Anyone with the Link can view”). Directors of individual videos may contact you for an online Call Back and/or may request a resume at that time.
The audition form will accept submissions through Friday July 31, 2020; however, individual directors may cast early so submitting as soon as possible is recommended. Types of works to be presented may include comedies, tragedies, histories, poetry, or other.
This audition is only for our September 2020 Viral Shakespeare online event and as always we are an All Volunteer Organization. All auditions, call backs, rehearsals, and video/audio recording will be completed online/remotely during August 2020. Platforms and schedules for those will be determined by individual directors. Directors and shows will be announced soon:
