ShakesSquad Auditions - REMINDER
at Shakespeare Squadron in St. Louis City, MO
What: AUDITIONS for a Spring Performance Workshop presented by Shakespeare Squadron, Shakespeare Festival Saint Louis’ Advanced Teen Acting Ensemble. We will workshop and perform 30-minute adaptations of Shakespeare plays: Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Henry V.
Who: Young artists ages 13-18 (grades 9-12), who love Shakespeare and acting and want to be involved in this unique experience. We are looking to cast a total of 20-25 students. Each actor will be cast in two of the three adaptations, with the potential to cast in the ensemble of the third adaptation. Priority casting will be given to current Shakespeare Squadron members in good standing, so we have a limited amount of available roles. Current ShakesSquad members ARE required to audition.
When: Monday, December 12th, 5-8pm, appointment required. Appointments are 5 minutes long, but we may ask you to stay and read with other actors.
Where: Union Avenue Christian Church, 733 Union Boulevard, St. Louis, MO, 63108-1037
PLEASE EMAIL Elana Kepner , Shakespeare Squadron Instructor at shakessquad@sfstl.com to make an audition appointment.
What to Bring: A memorized, short (20 lines or less) Shakespeare monologue, in verse, or Shakespeare sonnet. We may ask you to cold read a little. Please bring a list of your CONFLICTS (standardized tests, school activities, planned vacations) through the middle of March. If you need help finding a piece, please refer to this list from the English Speaking Union: http://www.esuus.org/Shakespeare2012/2012%20Suggested%20Monologues%20List.pdf
Current Shakespeare Squadron members who wish to be cast in the performance workshop must prepare a new piece (not the one we worked on in class this fall or last fall) or one of the scenes that will be available shortly. We also highly recommend that you read and familiarize yourself with the three plays and come to auditions with an idea of a few roles you’d like to be considered for.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Participation in this workshop requires a big commitment of time and energy. You need to be able to make rehearsals and work on the pieces a priority for the duration of the workshop and not just add it to the pile of sports, school plays and other activities. Parents need to be on-board as well, so make sure everyone can commit for the length of rehearsals to refrain from planning any last minute, out of town trips or scheduling spontaneous standardized tests, tutoring sessions or volunteer activities.
For more information or to secure an audition time contact Shakespeare Squadron Instructor Elana Kepner: ShakesSquad@sfstl.com.
Rehearsal and Performance Schedule: Thursdays 5:30-8:30pm, Saturdays 1-4pm, January 26 –March 3, Tech Week: April 5-8: 5:30-9:30pm, Performances: March 9, 10 & 11
Details: Shakespeare Squadron was launched in the fall 2010 with Education Director Christopher Limber and festival teaching artist Elana Kepner at the helm. This Shakespeare master-class caters to students in grades 9 - 12 interested in more advanced work on text, poetry, acting technique, movement, voice, creating a character and ensemble theater. In the fall, the Squadron was challenged with intensive monologue work, as well as voice, movement and acting projects, culminating in an evening of monologues for family and friends. The spring performance workshop is meant to build on the work began in the fall, with a focus on technique in rehearsal and performance.
“ShakeSuite”-will consist of an evening of theater containing three 30- minute Shakespeare adaptations, each with a full cast. Each student would be cast two of the three adaptations, in one leading role or role that plays to their strengths and one supporting role or character role that stretches them. Students may be cast in the third piece as a member of the ensemble. Three directors, Elana Kepner, Christopher Limber and Michael Perkins, will guide an adaptation and challenge the students with different theatrical styles.
Tuition: $275, with some limited opportunities for work-study, financial aid and scholarships
