Equity actors for roles in Great River Shakespeare Festival's 2024 season (see breakdown).
GRSF is committed to inclusive casting. We encourage all performers to participate regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability. For productions where race or ethnicity is central to the show’s plot or themes, casting will reflect those requirements.
All roles will be understudied.
Please present two contrasting monologues totaling 4 minutes or less. Please include at least one Shakespeare monologue. The second piece may be Shakespeare or a contemporary piece. We encourage modern heightened language pieces including spoken word. Please perform in the vernacular that is most natural for you; we do not believe in “standard American” speech and value expressive use of language in every form. If you play and instrument, please bring it and present a sample of you playing.
