Auditions for "SHAKESPEARE IN HOLLYWOOD" at Vero Voce Theater

(ST CHARLES) Vero Voce is pleased to announce auditions for Ken Ludwig’s hilarious comedy, SHAKESPEARE IN HOLLYWOOD.

It’s 1934, and Shakespeare’s most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialized on the Warner Bros. Hollywood set of Max Reinhardt’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Instantly smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves.

Roles to be cast include 8 males, 4 females; Oberon, Puck, Jack Warner, Max Reinhardt, Will Hays, Daryl, Olivia Darnell, Lydia Lancing, Louella Parsons, Dick Powell, Jimmy Cagney and Joe E. Brown.
