Equity actors for the roles in "As You Like It". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Love will find a way: The Forest of Arden comes to life in the Thomas Theatre when Rosalind and her cousin Celia escape an oppressive uncle and take to the wilderness. Disguised as a man, Rosalind searches for her true love, Orlando—who doesn’t recognize her in her new persona. But anything can happen in the forest, including poems in the trees, star-crossed shepherds, and a band of exiles who become family. Identities are lost and true selves are found in Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, bringing its magic to our most intimate theatre in this song-filled, 1960s-infused production by director Lisa Peterson (Hamlet, 2016).

2 roles

ORLANDOMale26-39 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic Other

Afro-Latinx or Latinx. Sweet, Funny, Charming. NOTE: This track will also play or understudy the role of ‘Bruno/Young Quijano/Yard Sale Guy/Terrified Boy’ in QUIXOTE NUEVO & will need to sing. [Bruno/Young Quijano/Yard Sale Guy/Terrified Boy]: Bruno: a tough guy, earthy, grounded. Other roles require a terrific sense of play. Young Quijano appears first as a small puppet then as a large puppet. Has an affinity for language and a big soul. NOTE: Puppetry skills are useful – though not necessary.

OLIVER MARTEXT/LE BEAU/AMIENSMale20-39 y.o.Latino / Hispanic

Multi-Instrumentalist. Oliver Martext is a county vicar; LeBeau is a courtier in Duke Frederick’s court. Amiens will be a member of a band and requires a multi-instrumentalist with excellent musical skills. Great with Shakespearean verse.
