"Mods and Rockers do battle on the streets of Verona! Eagle’s Nest Theatre and director Peita Collard are putting the SHAKE! back into Shakespeare with their new adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Love’s greatest tragedy set amongst the sounds and street styles of Swinging London circa 1966.”

Eagle’s Nest Theatre is proud to announce the first round of auditions for its first season of 2008, which will be Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet (paired with Arthur Miller’s The Crucible).  The season will run from 29 April to 10 May and actors must be available for possible touring in the two weeks following the in-theatre season (12-25 May). 

Romeo and Juliet will be directed by Peita Collard. 

Auditions will be held on:
Thurs 31 Jan 6.30-9pm (15 minute blocks)
Sat 2 Feb Noon-4pm (15 minute blocks).

Interested actors are invited  to send an e-mail expressing interest in auditioning for Romeo & Juliet (with a range of possible times) to noni@eaglesnesttheatre.com  or call Noni on 0423 915 115.

Actors are asked to be ready to discuss the play (yes that means you must have read it J) and to prepare a brief monologue from it (2 mins max).  The audition will also include some scene work chosen on the day.
