Auditions for Much Ado About Nothing

Auditions are open to actors of all ages. Casting preference is given to actors aged 18 and younger (in the event of a tie, the role goes to the younger actor).

When: January 20, 2018, 1:00 – 3:30 pm.

Where: Unity Church of Birmingham, 2803 Highland Avenue, Birmingham.

What should you bring: A memorized monologue, no shorter than one minute, no longer than four minutes. A headshot and resume, if available.

Performance dates will be at the end of April/beginning of May. Rehearsals will be one weeknight a week and Saturday afternoons. If necessary, callbacks, which will involve cold readings from the script, will take place on Saturday, January 20, at 3:30 pm, IMMEDIATELY AFTER INITIAL AUDITIONS.

Audition procedure:

Bring the following items with you to auditions:

• A memorized monologue. This monologue should be no shorter than 30 seconds, no longer than 3 minutes. Shakespeare is preferred but not required.
• A head shot. This doesn’t have to be a professional head shot, but needs to accurately represent what you look like.
• A resume. Highlight your acting and/or dancing experience, but please keep in mind that Bards of Birmingham does not require acting experience in order to be cast. A committed novice actor would be preferred over a lackluster experienced actor.

Actors will be called back one at a time to perform for audition judge(s). If casting decisions can’t be concluded with an initial round of auditions, actors may be asked to come back for a callback audition round which will include cold readings from the script.
