Come Audition for a production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing–it’s the original rom-com! Auditions will be held at the American House on Water St in Keene NH (this will also be the rehearsal site!)
They are still seeking to fill several roles- all ages!

If you are interested in being in the show please mail stage manager Katrina an email at kferaco@branchrivertheatre.org and director Sophia at sophiaolsen860@gmail.com to set up a date/time to audition. 

What do I need to bring or prepare for auditions?

Please be prepared to list all rehearsal conflicts for this show. Rehearsals are planned to be on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30, Thursdays from 6:30-8:30, and Sundays from 3-6. A few conflicts are not the end of the world, but if you cannot make any Thursdays, or if you will be gone the entire month of December, or have any other standing long-term conflicts, please let us know so we can plan!

Please prepare a short monologue from any Shakespeare play or poem. (You do not need to have it memorized!)

At auditions, you may be asked to read excerpts of the script with other actors. This will not need to be prepared in advance.

Please be sure you fill out the below audition form! There will be paper copies at the auditions too.

This production of Much Ado About Nothing is through the organization Branch River Theatre, with Sophia Olsen directing the show.

The Production will go up in late February, so there is still time, but it is limited.

The vibe:

If you’ve ever seen a Nancy Meyers movie, you’ll know the vibe of this production. The setting is Leona’s Bougie, upper-class, New England lake house property, where she is hosting a masquerade and getaway for her daughter Hero and her cousin and friends, along with a group of young Marines, who are visiting just after a victory in the war. Hero has a gentle history with Claudio, and Hero’s cousin, Beatrice has a fraught history with Claudio’s good friend Benedick. Prince Don Pedro is the eye in the storm for many of these players, but his step-sibling Don John has plans to sully his brother’s good name, out of spite and jealousy. Will Don John be successful in bringing dark malice to the otherwise light and joyful endeavor, or will the fates have other plans in store?

That is for an audience to find out, once there is a cast to bring the story to life!!
