NCShakes to Hold Shakespeare To Go Auditions March 14 & 15
The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival (NCShakes) will soon hold auditions for the Fall 2013 Shakespeare To Go tour, the company’s Outreach & Education program that performs and teaches at schools across North Carolina.
Auditions will be held March 14 and 15 from 4-6 p.m. at NCShakes’ Spirit Center campus (807 W. Ward Avenue, High Point). To schedule an audition, please call NCShakes at

NCShakes seeks a non-Equity, multi-racial touring company of six actors – three women and three men – plus an actor/company manager, who will perform a 60-minute production of Hamlet and a 45-minute version of The Comedy of Errors in repertory. The company is looking for actors who are especially versatile, with a strong Shakespeare background. Experience in stage combat, physical comedy and teaching will be helpful.
One production will tour North Carolina middle- and high schools with some public and university performances. The other production will be geared to elementary and middle-school audiences.
Actor contracts will run from late August through Dec. 12, 2013. Salaries are $275 per week. Actors residing outside the Triad will receive housing in High Point. All actors will receive a per diem for food and hotel for overnight tour stops.
For the audition actors should prepare two one- to two-minute contrasting Shakespeare monologues. NCShakes requires an 8x10 headshot and detailed resume at the time of the audition.
The mission of NCShakes is to entertain, educate and enrich North Carolina students and citizens with quality professional productions of the world’s great plays and with in-school and life-long learning opportunities.
