Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre is seeking non-Equity actors for our 2017 repertory season of: LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST, JULIUS CAESAR, MEREDITH WILLSON'S THE MUSIC MAN, and an adaptation for family audiences of THE TAMING OF THE SHREW.

We will also hold Equity EPAs on Tuesday, December 13th from 10 am to 6 pm.
WHAT TO PREPARE
Actors should prepare either two contrasting classical monologues (at least one of which should be from Shakespeare) OR one Shakespeare monologue and sixteen bars of a song in order to be considered for the musical. An accompanist will be provided.

For actors coming from outside of the central Arkansas region, housing will be provided.
