Information for Auditioners- In keeping with the spirit of our community-based organizational
mandate, all acting positions with the Shakespeare By The Sea Festival
are volunteer commitments
- We suggest that you arrive early enough to fill out an audition form on which we'll ask for a little information about you and your schedule.
- No preparation is necessary, as we will have readings available from the plays, but prepared readings of Shakespeare are always welcome also.
- You will have an opportunity at the audition to indicate your
preference (if any) if you wish to be considered for a particular play
or role, or if there is any other capacity in which you would be
interested in being involved with the Festival. We also have room for volunteers in backstage and technical positions.
-
Rehearsals will be held on evenings and weekends around the work
schedules of the participants, which we will expect everyone to give us
a fair idea of at the auditions.
- While all are welcome to audition, please note most opportunities are for those 19 years of age and older.
- All auditioners will be contacted by the Festival within 7 days to notify them as to the outcome of their audition.
- Those who accept an invitation to join the 2012 SBTS Company will be have the development opportunity to participate in special SBTS Company-only skill-development workshops
