Once again, The Hudson Players Club is proud to be presenting our 2023 Summer Shakespeare production in Jack Layton Park, directed by Simon Cote.
THIS IS A COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER PRODUCTION
The rehearsal schedule is likely to be: Tuesday and Thursdays 7-10pm and Sundays 1-5pm. Rehearsals will start soon after the auditions.
All ages are welcome to participate in the audition process, but certain roles do have an age range preferred by the director. If you would be interested to participate, please complete the form and you will be contacted directly via email.
Please prepare a Non-Shakespeare monologue for your audition, and there will be sides from Much Ado About Nothing for you to read as as well.
If you might like to assist in more of a production assistance role, please also advise us in which capacity you would like to volunteer.
