Theatre--Auditions

AUI/AURA is pleased to announce auditions for their summer production of William Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream at Cite Des Arts (109 Vince Street In downtown Lafayette) on Saturday, February 12th and Sunday, February 13th from 1 to 5 pm (on both days). This production will run in late July and/or early August. It will be directed by Cody Daigle and Cara Hayden.

The company is opening auditions to all interested actors in the community, with a special interest in actors under the age of 25. The production will require 15-20 actors, including those with special skills as dancers, singers, acrobats or musicians.

Actors of all ages, sizes and levels of acting experience are encouraged to audition.

Interested actors should prepare a 2 minute monologue from any play by Shakespeare (comedies preferred, not Midsummer). Some actors will also be asked to do cold readings from the script.

Interested singers may prepare a 30-second a capella vocal piece.  Interested dancers, acrobats and musicians should be prepared to discuss their previous experience and training.

AUI/AURA encourages everyone interested in participating to attend the audition, despite any previous experience with Shakespeare. A good attitude and a lot of energy are what interest the company most.
