Actors Needed for "Romeo and Juliet" Play Audition

Searching Talent for "Romeo & Juliet" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Produced in partnership with The City of Alpharetta- Recreation, Parks and Cultural Services and Arcadia Theater. In Romeo & Juliet, Shakespeare creates a violent world, in which two young people fall in love. It is not simply that their families disapprove; the Montagues and the Capulets are engaged in a blood feud. In this death-filled setting, the movement from love at first sight to the lovers’ final union in death seems almost inevitable. And yet, this play set in an extraordinary world has become the quintessential story of young love. In part because of its exquisite language, it is easy to respond as if it were about all young lovers. PLEASE NOTE: This show will be extremely physically demanding, with the ensemble playing a major part in the production overall. Directors will also be performing most shows outdoors and thus will be at the mercy of the elements. The cast will help with the setup and strike of costumes, props, sets and all related items (tents, sound equipment, light equipment, etc.) for each performance.
