Cultural Arts Auditioning for ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’


The City of Savannah’s Cultural Arts Theatre will be holding auditions for a touring school production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” January 13 at 6 p.m. in the Black Box at S.P.A.C.E., 9 W. Henry St.

This delightful story of mischief and mistaken identity based on William Shakespeare’s comedy and adapted by Cultural Arts Theatre Director, Ellie Pyle, allows the actors to play several parts, adding another layer to the “fantasy vs. reality” themes explored in the play. “Touring a Shakespeare play in schools gives students a chance to see the timeless story and complex language they have studied come to life in the visceral manner for which it was originally intended,” said Pyle.

The script calls for a diverse cast of three men and two women. Audition scripts will be provided. Short (1-2 minute) monologues are optional. Actors must be available during daytime hours for school performances. Rehearsals will be scheduled for mornings or evenings depending on the availability of the actors chosen.

The show will be performed in the Black Box at S.P.A.C.E. one night only on March 26.

For more information or to schedule a daytime audition, call (912) 651-6783 or email elizabeth_pyle@savannahga. gov.
