CRT Hosts Open Call Auditions For The Winter’s Tale 1/13

One Boy is set to be cast in Spring 2012 Studio production of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale At CRT. 

Seeking actor (boys only) aged 6-9 years of age. Mamillius is the young prince who is filled with imagination and is wise for his years. Scenes include some dialogue to prepare. Scenes sides will be provided once an audition is confirmed.

Child actors perform as volunteers. Rehearsals will take place in the evenings and Saturdays beginning February 6, 2012 and performances will run from March 22 to April 1, 2012. The show will be presented in the Studio Theatre.

Jealousy, rage, intrigue, love, revenge and comic mishaps abound in one of Shakespeare's most intriguingly plotted plays. The king of Sicily suspects his best friend of having an illicit love affair with his wife, the queen. In a fit of jealous revenge, the king orders his wife to prison and sends his infant daughter far from home into exile in Bohemia. Covering a span of 16 years and culminating with one of the most stunning and surprising endings in all of Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale - with its unique blend of tragedy, farce, fairy tale, and romance – is ultimately the Bard's timeless affirmation of the power of forgiveness, love and redemption.

Auditions will be held:
Friday, January 13, 2012 beginning at 4 p.m.
in the Drama/Music Building on the Storrs campus.
