Hamlet, A Steampunk Tragedy, Directed by Ken Frazier
Auditions for William Shakespeare's Hamlet
- AUDITION DATE: Sunday, Oct. 8
- STARTING TIME: Time slots, 6pm-10pm. Auditions by appointment only.
- EMAIL THE VEX to schedule an appointment and receive further instructions. Interested in auditioning, but cannot make the Oct. 8th round? Contact us and let us know!
- AUDITION DETAILS: Please prepare a 1-minute monologue from any Shakespeare piece, or other classical work. The focus here is to see how the actor handles “heightened” language and demonstrates the ability to make it sound active, natural, and interesting while presenting a believable character.
- Auditions will be held at The Vex, located at 12500 NW Military Hwy., on the lower level of the Campus of the San Antonio Jewish Community.
- Before the audition, please read The Vex's vision for this production.
CHARACTERS NEEDED
The Vex production of Hamlet has been in the works for several months and one round of auditioning/casting has been completed for the following roles: Claudius – Jim Mammarella, Gertrude-Theresa Bishop, Hamlet-John Stillwaggon, Ophelia- Chelsea Steele, and Polonius- Michael Howard.
This Oct. 8th round of auditions is for all the remaining roles including Laertes, Horatio, The Ghost, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Bernardo, Marcellus, courtiers, players, guards, gravediggers, etc. These character’s ages range from the 20s on up.
CASTING DIVERSITY NOTE: Because of the “alternative-world” Steampunk genre… this production is going to be open to gender flexibility, race, and age options for several of these remaining roles depending on appropriate chemistry and acting abilities.
FINAL CASTING: All roles will be cast on a volunteer basis only.
