“Muse of Fire” auditions, Workplay

Posted on September 20, 2007 | Leave a comment
The nice folks that bring us Shakespeare at Sloss have announced Round Two auditions at Workplay, 500 23rd St. South, for its 2007 Fall Showcase Benefit performance. They still need a few people for the eight scenes of “tragedy, comedy and history” that will be staged throughout the footpath of Sloss Furnaces. Actors may audition solo or in pairs. All you need to do is prepare your favorite short Shakespearean monologue/scene — no audition materials provided. As it is a fundraiser, the MUSE Fall Showcase does not pay so you’ll have to do it for the love of the Bard. The Fall Showcase Benefit will be Sunday, Nov. 11, from 12 – 4 p.m., with minimal rehearsals the previous two weeks only. Visit www.elizabethofnewyork.com or www.myspace.com/museoffire for more information. To schedule a different audition time or ask questions, please e-mail the director, Elizabeth Hunter, at muse@elizabethofnewyork.com.
