AUDITIONS: As our community starts to move past the pandemic that has consumed us for the past year, The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival hopes to bring our show back on the road this summer! We will not be performing our customary multi-show summer season, instead focusing on one production. If things continue to improve, look for us to bring "Romeo and Juliet", directed by Dusten Welch, to a park near you! Tentative performance dates will be July 16 – August 14. We hope to have venues confirmed soon. If the situation changes due to COVID, the performance will transition to a recorded radio play format. Accordingly, it’s time to wrangle up some actors! While it is our plan to perform live to outdoor audiences, our audition process will remain virtual this year. All roles are open and will be paid a stipend. CSF practices gender and color-blind casting. We will only consider actors who have received or intend to receive the COVID vaccine. Rehearsals and performances will adhere to CDC guidelines. To audition: film a video of yourself performing a Shakespearean monologue of no more than 3 minutes (comic or dramatic). Upload the video to YouTube or other video sharing service by 12 noon on Monday, April 12. Callbacks are by invitation and will occur via Zoom on Sunday, April 25.
