Kickball makes its 2008 debut today out at Avondale Park. The folks are a little upset that the weather is supposed to be warmer since it would have been a great excuse for hot toddies. It’s simple, it’s fun and afterwards, it’s an excuse to hang out with folks over at Rojo on Highland.

Muse of Fire Macbeth auditions, WorkPlay

Posted on January 4, 2008 | Comments Off on Muse of Fire Macbeth auditions, WorkPlay

No this is not an error, they’ve added a second day of auditions to the mix. We tweaked the text to make it sound new (we actually just changed the date…)

The folks at Muse of Fire are preparing for their next performance of Shakespeare at Sloss. They are holding auditions for their Spring 2008 production, Macbeth. The full requirements are over on their website, www.shakespeareatsloss.com, (especially important if you plan on auditioning to be either Macbeth or Lady Macbeth) though we can at least tell you to start working on that short Shakespearean monologue that you’re going to perform on January 14.

You can set up another time for an interview by contacting Muse’s Elizabeth Hunter at muse@elizabethofnewyork.com.

Just in case you’re not planning to audition, tickets go on sale in March and the show goes on May 3 &4. Stay tuned.
