AUDITIONS for Summer Season!

OPEN EYE SEEKS ACTORS FOR SHAKESPEARE’S AS YOU LIKE IT

Several actors are still needed for William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” to be performed at The Open Eye Theater in July.  Available roles include Orlando and Oliver (late teens or 20s), Charles the Wrestler (late teens to 40s), Duke Senior (40s-70s), Duke Frederick (40s- 70s), Touchstone (20s – 60s), Jacques (30s  - 60s), Corin  50’s – 70s) and Adam (60s – 70s).  Women will be considered for some of the male roles.   Stage Management staff is also being sought.  Amie Brockway will direct.

Auditions and interviews will be held on Tuesday, May 27, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, or by appointment throughout the week of May 26.  Previous experience with Shakespeare is helpful, but not necessary.

 Rehearsals begin in early June, and performances are July 17 – 27.  To sign up for an audition on Tuesday, May 27, 6:30-8:30, or to schedule an alternate date and time, phone The Open Eye Theater at 845-586-1660 or e-mail openeye@catskill.net.                                                           

"AS YOU LIKE IT", a comedy of family dynamics, politics, power, banishment, mistaken identity, and love in the Forest of Arden will be directed by Amie Brockway. It has a diverse cast including two Dukes who are brothers (one usurper, one banished), Lords (Jacques and others), Shepherds (old and young), Shepherdess (Phebe), Clown (Touchstone), Wrestler, Country Wench (Audrey), and Lovers galore. Daughters of the two Dukes, and therefore cousins, Rosalind and Celia disguise themselves as Shepherd (Ganymede) and Country Maid (Aliena), achieving safety in the Forest, but confusing the romantic overtures of Orlando and Oliver. Complicating things even more are the pursuits of Phebe, Silvius, Audrey and Touchstone. Teens and adults of all ages are encouraged to audition. Women will be considered for some fo the roles traditionally played by men.
