<DIV><STRONG>About the Auditions:</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>Needed: 2 male actors, age 16 to 20's, to complete a cast of four.  One actor should have an athletic build.  </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Both actors should be able to begin evening rehearsals by late August. Experienced, non-equity actors only should apply; a small gratuity will be paid to each performer. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>About the Performances</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>There are six performances tentatively scheduled, for mid-October, at several area venues with the potential for more to be added.  Production also may run a second time in April, 2003 in the Akron area. Specifics to be announced in mid-August.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>About the Play</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>This now-famous recent adaptation of the Bard's classic love story sets the play within a play.  A repressive boarding school has banned Shakespeare from the campus for being too lewd.  These four boys rebel by sneaking away at off chances to read the Bard's work amongst themselves in an abandoned school chapel.  Two of the boys ultimately emerge in the roles of Romeo and Juliet, witht he other boys playing the rest of the cast.  Anyone wishing they'd been cast in Dead Poet's Society should find this play a joy.  All four roles are demanding and meaty.  Only actors willing to take a risk need reply! :)</DIV>
