SHOW THEMES
Macbeth is a classic Shakespearean tragedy that includes stage combat, references to warfare, themes of murder, political conflict, and supernatural elements. All violence will be presented in an age-appropriate theatrical manner. This is an abridged version of Macbeth.
TO PREPARE FOR AUDITION
1. Access the sides on the website to prepare. The more prepared you are, the more impressive your audition will be. Focus on clear diction, expression, and storytelling rather than simply reciting lines.
2. Work on Vocal Expression - Shakespeare's language can be challenging. Practice speaking clearly, projecting your voice, and varying your tone to communicate emotion and meaning.
3. Be Ready to Move - Macbeth includes scenes of battle, court life, and dramatic action. Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared for movement exercises.
4. Give it Your Best - The director is looking for enthusiasm, creativity, and willingness to learn. Don't be reserved.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CAST MEMBER:
1. Show up on time and be present at rehearsal.
2. Memorize the script and be off book by Aug. 3 - that's the first day of rehearsal
3. Costumes will be simple, but some accessories may need to be purchased.
4. Participate in our team. Be supportive and be responsible.
Auditioning for the show does not guarantee a role.
