Pace: 1.5mph – because I’m an ol’ Codger.

Auditions for Twelfth Night

Apr 3 @ 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Montford Park Players

The Montford Park Players is committed to gender-neutral and race-conscious casting. ALL are welcome and invited to participate! Community theatre is at its best when it fully embraces and engages its FULL community, not just one portion.

BIPOC actors, we need you.

LGBTQIA+ actors, we need you.

Actors with disabilities, we need you.

Actors of all ages, we need you.

Twelfth Night will be performed Fridays through Sundays, June 23rd-July 21st at 7:30 pm. Rehearsals will begin in mid-April and continue until opening.

Actors will be given sides to read at the audition. (available here: https://www.montfordparkplayers.org/abou…/volunteers-page/)

A large cast is needed and the breakdown is as follows:

All characters are open to actors of any race, ability, gender, or age unless otherwise noted. Genders and sexualities of characters will be molded to fit the actors who best suit the role, with consideration of the other actors on stage.

All characters will be asked to sing and dance (nothing hard or complex, its pirate shanties y’all) and play instruments if they are able.

VIOLA (woman, cis or trans) is tossed ashore in a strange land and presents as a cabin boy for safety. She quickly falls in love with Captain Orsino.

CAPTAIN ORSINO is a powerful and noble pirate lord and true ruler of Illyria, despite it technically being the king’s land. He is lovesick for Captain Olivia.

CAPTAIN OLIVIA runs the local inn in the wake of losing her father and brother. She is rich, fearsome, and good with a sword.

SEBASTIAN/SEBASTIENNE (gender depending on casting) is Viola’s twin, and baffled by how many people in Illyria think they know him already.

MALVOLIO is the straitlaced and haughty first mate of Captain Olivia. He pines for her but looks down on her crew.

FESTE is a traveling bard, jester, and clown making his living in Illyria. They enjoys playing tricks on the straitlaced and haughty. They miss their banished lover.

THE BANDMATES are a few lost souls who follow Feste and accompany their antics. Must play Instruments. Don’t have to speak. Can play various small roles.

TOBY BELCH is Captain Olivia’s drunkle uncle. He plots for a marriage for Olivia and is a walking bisexual dumpster fire.

MARIA, part of Captain Olivia’s crew, has a sharp wit and a trickster spirit. She is pining for Toby.

ANDREW AGUECHEEK is a “special friend” of Toby Belch. He tries to woo Olivia at Toby’s request because he lacks the capacity for original thought.

ANTONIO was banished from Illyria due to the king’s antiquated laws on love, but following Sebastian, he returns to the land of his lost lover.

VALENTINE is a member of Captain Orsino’s crew. Also plays GUARD.

CURIO is a member of Captain Orsino’s crew. Also plays GUARD and SAILOR.

Anyone who is interested in a technical role only (stage management, lights, sound, etc.) should send an email to [email protected] and include your background, if any. We welcome all volunteers!

The Montford Park Players is pleased to announce auditions for Treasure Island, by Honor Moor. Directed by David Doersch.

Auditions for Treasure Island will be held at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre at 92 Gay St.

The time for auditions is April 15th at 10am. Actors will be required to stay after their monologue for scene work. Actors may additionally be required to return at 10am on the 16th for movement, combat and musical ability auditions. IMPORTANT NOTE: There are no timeslots for this audition. All actors should arrive at 10:00 am both days.

Actors will submit initial audition information through our website at https://www.montfordparkplayers.org/abou…/volunteers-page/ and may do so at any time.

The Montford Park Players is committed to gender-neutral and race-conscious casting. ALL are welcome and invited to participate! Community theatre is at its best when it fully embraces and engages its FULL community, not just one portion.

BIPOC actors, we need you.

LGBTQIA+ actors, we need you.

Actors with disabilities, we need you.

Actors of all ages, we need you.

Treasure Island will be performed Fridays through Sundays, July 28th-August 26th at 7:30 pm. Rehearsals will begin in May and continue until opening.

Actors should prepare and memorize a classical monologue of no longer than 60 seconds. Actors will then be broken out into groups for scene work.

A large cast is needed!

All characters are open to actors of any race, ability, gender, or age unless otherwise noted. Genders and sexualities of characters will be molded to fit the actors who best suit the role, with consideration of the other actors on stage.

All characters will be asked to sing and dance (nothing hard or complex, its pirate shanties y’all) and play instruments if they are able.

Anyone who is interested in a technical role only (stage management, lights, sound, etc.) should send an email to [email protected] and include your background, if any. We welcome all volunteers!
