SHAKESPEARE’S R & J 
an adaptation by Joe Calarco

Aug 30-Sep 21 (Thurs-Sat), directed by Cory Molner
In a boys' boarding school, four students discover the forbidden text
of Shakespeare’s play and secretly enact the play in an athletic
deluge of adolescent agitation, terror, and fierce desires that
parallel their own lives.

Roles:  
Student 1: Romeo, etc.
Student 2: Juliet, Benvolio, Friar John, etc.
Student 3: Mercutio, Lady Capulet, Friar Lawrence, etc.
Student 4: Tybalt, Nurse, Balthasar, etc. 

4 MALES THAT CAN PLAY IN THE RANGE OF HIGH SCHOOL AGE. All must have
at least an introductory grasp of Shakespeare's work and language. A
background in stage movement or stage combat is preferred. Actors must
be comfortable with portraying on-stage same-sex intimacy choreography
and moments of staged violence.

*Sides will be provided. It is suggested that you familiarize yourself
with the text and rhythm of the original Romeo and Juliet. 

*** All roles receive a stipend. Rehearsals begin mid-July.

HOMOS, OR EVERYONE IN AMERICA
by Jordan Seavey
Oct 18-Nov 9, directed by Clyde Simon

Homos, or Everyone in America by Jordan Seavey, directed by Clyde
Simon, is told through interweaving glimpses into the life of an
everyday couple unexpectedly confronted by a vicious hate crime. 
Homos, or Everyone in America is a fearless, often funny,
heart-on-its-sleeve examination of the moments that can bring two
people together – or pull them apart.  (Ohio premiere.)

written in a unique and interesting overlapping / interweaving style
– an exciting approach to the language of dialogue.

thirties.
The Academic: Male, Latino, a grad student, ages from late twenties to
