Auditions for A Midsummer Night's Dream

Emerald Coast Theatre Company will be holding auditions for an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” by Gillette Elvgren, sponsored by Grand Boulevard in Miramar Beach. Auditions will be held on April 11th from 12pm – 1:30pm at the Destin Community Center, 101 Stahlman Ave, Destin, FL 32541.

Actors should prepare a memorized one minute Shakespearian comedic monologue and be ready to play improvisation games.

This show will rehearse nights and weekends in May and run at 8pm on Thursday nights from May 28th through July 30th at the Grand Park at Grand Boulevard in Miramar Beach.

Styled after Italy’s commedia dell’arte, four actors portray the lovers, the royals, the fairies, and the mechanicals. All four actors change characters as needed to engage the audience in this forty five minute adaptation of the classical play.

Actor roles are as follows:

BUFFO ----------- An oaf-ish clown.

ARLE ------------- A female Arlechino.

LEANDRO ------ The lover clown, full of himself.

CELESTINA --- The spoiled young leading lady.

Circus skills and tumbling is a plus but not required. All positions are paid.
