Hello! We would formally like to invite you to audition for a summer of HAMLET in Cincinnati, Ohio.
This is a passion project headed up by a team of LGBTQIA+ folks with rehearsals in June, and free performances over several weekends in July.
Several main roles have been cast, but we are looking to fill out the team with a strong blend of performers. We are looking to ensure a fun, safe, and collaborative environment for all involved. If you love bringing Shakespeare to life, or would like to learn how to with a passionate and varied group of professional theater artists, this is a great opportunity!
This production will be performed at an Episcopal Church. We understand that a church setting could be a challenge for some and wish to re-express our commitment to providing a fun, safe and collaborative environment to bring this classic tale to life.
This is a volunteer position that will include helping out with some backstage elements, ex: cleaning your own costume and helping to set up the show space each day.
- 4 weekends of Shows:
- Friday & Saturday evenings from July 5th -July 28th 2024.
- Rehearsals for this production would run from May 31st-July 4th 2024, with 20 hrs of combat safety rehearsals in May.
- LIVE Music! If you play an instrument, let us know!
