Directed by Jack Read
Show dates:
October 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 at 7:30 pm

Shakespeare wrote characters whose pains and passions reflect humanity as a whole. The Wheel seeks to build an ensemble that both embodies his universality and resonates with the demographically complex world we live in.
Seeking 8 or 9 dynamic performers for our ensemble. Every actor will play at least two roles. Musical ability is a plus but only required for the actor playing Autolycus.
Non-union. All roles paid.
Text work and rehearsals will be on evenings and weekends beginning in August. We will craft a rehearsal schedule based on actor availability. You must be available for the entire run of the show, as well as tech September 29-Oct 3. Most techs are in the evening, but September 29th will be in the daytime.
Auditions will take place:
Thursday June 6, 6:30-10:30pm
Sunday June 9, 9am-1pm
Callbacks will be Monday June 10, 7-9:30pm. (if called back, we ask that you be available for the entire time if possible - callbacks will consist of several opportunities to read and ensemble-building activities)
Auditions will take place at the Emergence Community Arts Collective at 733 Euclid St NW, Washington, DC 20001.
Please prepare two monologues from Shakespeare, not to exceed two and a half minutes total. One of your monologues should be in verse. If you would like, one of your monologues can be by a contemporary of Shakespeare.
Please send resume and headshot to TheWheelTheatreCompany@gmail.com with any questions and to sign up for a five-minute audition slot. Please provide three times that work for you. If you are available for rehearsals and show dates but not auditions, please get in touch and we can work something out.
Have a question about the characters, play or company? Send us an email and we'd be happy to discuss!
