Sonnet Fest Auditions
Creative Greensboro in partnership with Little Independent Theatre, Scrapmettle and Shared Radiance Performing Arts will hold auditions for the second annual “Sonnet Fest,” featuring creative performances of Shakepeare’s sonnets Number 52- 104. Auditions will be held on Monday, June 29 and Tuesday June 30 at 7 pm, in the Stephen D Hyers theatre at the Greensboro Cultural Center, 200 N. Davie St. Performers 12 years and older of all experience levels, genders, ethnicities, or racial identities are welcome to register for an audition at creativegreensboro.com
Actors, Singers and Dancers are encouraged to prepare an interpretation of any Shakespeare sonnet for their audition. Performers may also read from sonnets provided. All performers will be asked to participate in a brief improvised movement audition. Rehearsals are in the evenings and on weekends as schedules permit. Performances will take place August 6-8 at various locations along the western corridor of the Greensboro Downtown Greenway. Not a performer but you still want to participate?
