The Lester Centre of the Arts is calling on any interested actors and actresses in Prince Rupert to audition for the Lester’s production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare {Abridged}.
The two-act play is an irreverent and fast-paced romp, where three people perform all of Shakespeare’s 37 plays in 90 minutes.
The play will be stagedat the Lester Centre from April 19-20, 2024. The audition times for the play are as follows:
• Sunday, November 12: 1-3 p.m.
• Monday, November 13: 7-9 p.m.
• Thursday, November 16: 6-8 p.m.
The roles for the play are neither gender-specific nor age-specific, and those auditioning for the play should have a basic understanding of Shakespearean theatre. Most of the play’s lines are written in common 21st-century language, although there are some passages where Shakespeare’s verse is quoted verbatim.
“The Lester Centre produced a version of Mamma Mia! earlier this year, and it was a resounding success,” said Chris Armstrong, General Manager of the Lester Centre. “Since 2024 is an off-year for our community musical, we’d like to stage a fun, zany, and fast-paced play for the springtime.”
