Auditions for the Mendocino College Fall production of THE BOOK OF WILL, directed by Reid Edelman, will be held on Tuesday, August 20 with call-backs as needed on Wednesday, August 21.
Rehearsals will begin on August 26, and performances will be on October 17-27.
This is a truly beautiful play about friendship, love, theatre, art, and the heart-achingly fragile nature of everything. The action unfolds three years after the death of William Shakespeare as his friends and fellow actors realize that they alone hold his plays in their memories and their scattered collections of unpublished scripts. Together they set out to publish and thereby preserve his plays for future generations of theatregoers. Their efforts against all odds express not only their love of theatre, but their shared humanity and devotion to their friend Will.
The play calls for a large cast of 17-20 actors playing 25+ roles. We also need production crew to assist with scenery, costumes, props, lighting, and stage management. For more information, please e-mail redelman@mendocino.edu or call me at (707) 468-3172. No preparation is necessary for the auditions, just come to the college Center Theatre at 6 PM on Tuesday, August 20!
