Breakdown
Equity Auditions for singers who can read music and harmonize quickly for performance readings. Performers must also be comfortable with a contemporary portrayal of Shakespeare text. All ethnicities are strongly encouraged to audition. Non-Equity performers will be seen only once all Equity performers have been scheduled and seen.
Midsummer Night, composed by Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda (Striking 12, Sleeping Beauty Wakes) is a rollicking rethinking of A Midsummer Night’s Dream set in a rock festival. Rock stars Titania and Oberon quarrel, rock assistant Puck creates havoc and roadie Bottom gets a chance to shine. Live music, glow sticks, and power chords! This audition is for a six-day developmental workshop with one reading in Memphis, TN. It is being presented by Theatrical Rights Worldwide in partnership with Tennessee Shakespeare Company and the University of Memphis.
Director: Janet Roston. Music Director: Ryan O’Connell.
Breakdown:
PUCK Male, early to late 20’s, tenor or lyric baritone. Chest voice to F, head voice (or belt, if you've got it) comfortably to the A above. Light, fey, mischievous, with a sense of fun in everything he does.
PUCK FEMALE, early to mid 20’s. Alto who can belt to a C#. A female circus performer/musician who travels with the festival and is slavishly devoted to Oberon.
OBERON, Male, mid-30's to late-40’s. Rock bari-tenor, belt to an F# or G. An aging bad boy rock star, he’s seen it all. Currently in a feud with Titania.
TITANIA, Female, mid 20’s to mid-30’s. Rock alto, belt to a C. A more recent rock star, she’s a cosmic diva. Recently out of love with Oberon.
LYSANDER, Male, 18 to mid-20’s. Bari-Tenor, decent falsetto, belt to an F. College-aged hipster, hormonally-driven and eloquent, eloping with Hermia.
HELENA, Female, 18 to mid-20’s. Soprano. A hipster, tall and dreamy, still stuck on Demetrius.
Tennessee Shakespeare Company is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
