Do you love Shakespeare? Do you loathe Shakespeare? This hilarious comedy explores what happens when a small group of actors attempt to present all of Shakespeare’s plays in a single production. Fast-paced, funny and physical, it’s 100 minutes of nonstop laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike.
While originally performed with a cast of three men, we are looking for actors of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. The production team is open to casting more than three people to find the best blend of comedic actors. Auditions will consist of reading from the script and some improv.
This show is directed by Kevin Paskawych.
