Auditions

NEW THEATRE announces our 7th Shakespeare & Friends Festival auditions to be held on March 3rd, 2008 from 11 AM- 7 PM.

New Theatre continues to provide Shakespeare and the classics with its intense summer festival by staging productions of Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT, George Bernard Shaw's HEARTBREAK HOUSE, and Tennessee Williams' THE GLASS MENAGERIE. The chosen company of 13 actors (10 Professional and 3 acting/tech interns) will work diligently together the whole summer under guidance of three very distinctive and talented directors.

Actors auditioning on March 3rd, 2008 from 11AM - 7 PM at New Theatre, 4120 Laguna Street, Coral Gables, Florida must bring their updated headshot/resume; prepare one Shakespeare monologue, and/or one Shaw/ Williams monologue. Each actor auditioning will be provided with a 5 minute time slot in which they'll perform their monologues and may be asked specific questions by the Artistic Director, Ricky J. Martinez, who will be in attendance. No auditions will be scheduled from 5 to 6 PM for a short dinner recess. All members of Actors' Equity receive priority first choice on audition time slots and any Equity members without appointments will be seen throughout the audition day as time permits.
