Summer Youth Theatre Auditions
Youth Summer One Acts is back this year with its co-directors John and Cricket Hall.
We’RE doing three One Acts this year
Shakespeare’s Bachelorette by Lea Marshall
“This is the Shakespeare/Dating show mash-up you’ve been waiting for!
Kate is looking for a date and her options are somewhat limited. Hamlet is pretty focused on his step-dad, Macbeth keeps trying to grab a dagger from above Kate’s head, and why does Iago keep giving her a handkerchief?
Oberon seems to think he’s going to win the show and it has nothing to do with that purple flower…”
Ariadne’s Thread, The Adventures of Theseus and the Minotaur by Judith White
“Theseus is a young man on an adventure. As he makes his way to Athens to meet his father he must fight bandits, carnivorous pigs, and travel the underworld.
He offers himself as tribute to rid the land of the murderous minotaur. But the story isn’t as simple as it seems. King Minos’ daughter Ariadne is willing to help, but only if Theseus promises not to kill the minotaur. How will Theseus get out of the labyrinth alive?
A fantastic modern version of the Theseus and the Minotaur myth complete with an active chorus.”
And a One Act that has yet to be determined.
