Casting Call: 'Romeo and Juliet'

Want to be in a well-loved play? Why not audition for "Romeo and Juliet!"

Circle Players will hold auditions for William Shakespeare's classic tale of star-crossed lovers, at 1 p.m. Jan. 26, and at 7 p.m. Jan. 27. This a modern-day update of the classic Shakespeare play; the major action will take place in and around a private parochial school.

All ages and types are welcome, as much of the casting will be determined by the ages of the actors cast in the various roles. Also gender is not an issue for certain roles, such as the Prince and Balthazar. Fighting and dance experience are a plus, but not mandatory.  

Fight rehearsals will be held Saturday mornings in February. Blocking begins in March. Performances will be at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, April 25- May 10, with a 3 p.m. show on March 11.
