Casting for "The Tempest"

Casting for "THE TEMPEST" in St. Charles, MO

 

Much Ado Circus is casting for its summer production of "The Tempest."  In this adaptation the play will be set in a Coney Island sideshow.  Circus elements will be used as metaphors.  There will be a large number of cuts to the original text.

 

Generally, we are looking for actors, circus artists, and musicians in various combinations.   

 

Specifically we are looking for a strong actor to play Prospero (with or without circus skills).  We are also looking for competent club-jugglers who could be a convincing young couple: Miranda and Ferdinand.

 

We are primarily looking for non-equity members but would consider an equity guest-artist contract for the right Prospero.

 

The production will run Thursdays-Sundays beginning June 8 and ending June 25.  It will be held at the Newtown amphitheatre (near I-370 and Elm).  Housing will be provided for out-of-town performers.
