CASTING NOTE: For this production, we are planning to use a Rep Style cast where each performance track is covered by two actors who will alternate in the role. Every performance will feature a different combination of actors than the night before. (i.e., one performance may feature Actor A1 in Track 1, Actor B2 in Track 2, and Actor A3 in Track 3, while the next performance could feature Actor B1 in Track 1, Actor A2 in Track 2, and Actor B3 in Track 3.) Every performer will be guaranteed five performances over the course of the run. We will be casting 6 performers total, two for each performance track.

**Please provide a full list of your conflicts on your audition form. You can view a full rehearsal schedule here.**
What to prepare and expect at auditions:
- Please prepare a short monologue (try to keep it to around 1 minute) from one of Shakespeare’s comedies.
- We will be seeing everyone in an audition group all at once, so we recommend arriving approximately 10 minutes prior to your group’s audition time.
- Each actor in the audition group will be asked to perform their monologue one at a time. After this, the entire group will be asked to read selections from the script with each other. In order to help you prepare, you can find these audition sides here.
To Do Prior to Auditions:
- Complete your audition form prior to arriving at auditions.
- Sign up for an audition group.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
**All Roles are open to individuals of all racial backgrounds and gender identities.**
**Performers use their own names in the show, however we have indicated the names that each track is marked as in the script so that actors can see which track correlates with which lines.**
TRACK 1 – Listed in the script as “DANIEL” – The unwitting center of the group. Just as madcap and energetic as the others, but often finds that they are the one keeping the train from flying fully off the rails. Success in this endeavor is usually elusive.
TRACK 2 – Listed in the script as “JESS” – The group’s “preeminent Shakespearean scholar”. Dignified. Reverent. Takes this very seriously… until they don’t.
TRACK 3 – Listed in the script as “ADAM” – A haphazard goofball. An agent of chaos who wears their heart on their sleeve. Not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
