AUDITION
All Cottage Theatre auditions are open to any interested actors and none of our shows is precast. We try to make our auditions as friendly and fun as possible. Previous stage experience, while helpful, is not necessary to audition. Almost all CT productions include actors appearing on our stage for the first time -- maybe this show it will be your turn!
Below are details of our upcoming auditions. We hope to see you at an audition soon.

ROMEO AND JULIET
AUDITION DATES: Monday, December 3 at 6:30 pm Tuesday, December 4 at 6:30 pm (Actors need only attend one evening.) Callbacks, if needed, will be Wednesday, December 5 at 6:30 pm. PRODUCTION DATES: February 1 - 17, 2019 Directed by Tony Rust REHEARSALS: Will begin December 10. There will be brief breaks for Christmas and New Year's, with no rehearsals scheduled December 22 - 25 and December 31 - January 1. There will be rehearsals December 26 - 28. AUDITION INFORMATION: Actors are requested to prepare a one-minute Shakespeare monologue. Having this memorized is highly suggested. We will also be reading from the script, and those sides are available below. We will also have a brief fight audition as the swordplay is integral to the production, so come prepared to move. ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION: This will be a Italian Renaissance period production, using American Standard accents (except perhaps for some of the servants) We will be using the first folio version of the script, so get used to weird spelling! Additionally, we will be using a version that provides the actors with just their side, or specific lines for their parts. This allows you to focus in on the words you are performing and learning, as it brings us closer to the version that was originally written (as that's all the original actors were given.) The uncut script is posted here for your reading pleasure. We are casting towards the ages in the script, though are not locked into anything, so we are reading high school & college age actors for the younger roles, on up the age scale to older folks for parents and servants and the like. Some roles could be cross gender cast, either as "pants or drag" roles or by making that character a different sex (for instance Mercutio could be played as a woman or the Nurse could be played by a man in drag) although the gender of Romeo, Juliet, Paris, and Tybalt will be as written. AUDITION SIDES: Friar Romeo scene Romeo Juliet scene Friar speech Juliet Nurse scene Mercutio Scene Nurse Scene QUESTIONS? If you have questions you may email the director Tony Rust.
