Auditions Announced for 'Twelfth Night' at Phoenix Stage Company

In the kingdom of Illyria, a nobleman named Orsino lies around listening to music, pining away for the love of Lady Olivia. He cannot have her because she is in mourning for her dead brother
and refuses to entertain any proposals of marriage.

Meanwhile, off the coast, a storm has caused a terrible shipwreck. A young, aristocratic-born woman named Viola is swept onto the Illyrian shore. Finding herself alone in a strange land, she assumes that her twin brother, Sebastian, has been drowned in the wreck, and tries to figure out what sort of work she can do.

Auditions are set for Monday, July 7th and Tuesday, July 8th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. If you are auditioning you will be reading sides from the script.
