NEW ALBANY AUDITIONS - Much Ado About Nothing (Southern Indiana Tour)

SoIN To Shakespeare seeks 5 or 6 actors, paricularly those based in Southern Indiana, for our Spring 2025 tour of William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing", in Clark, Floyd, and Harrison Counties in April and May 2025.
Rehearsals for the production take place on week-nights in New Albany, typically consisting of two rehearsals a week during March and April, increasing to three in the final two weeks. Rehearsals typically start at 6.30 or 7, lasting between 2 and 2.5 hours on week day evenings. We anticipate 4-8 performances in Southern Indiana in April and May on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons in local parks and libraries across Harrison, Floyd, and Clark counties

SoIN To Shakespeare (Southern Indiana Touring Shakespeare), was established in 2022 to bring Shakespeare into local communities in Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties, and beyond. Working closely with the Arts Alliance of Southern Indiana, we produce 75-90 minute versions of Shakespeare’s plays with the aim of engaging and entertaining families, and giving children opportunities to be part of the show. We believe that involving children in performances at a younger age helps build positive associations with Shakespeare, live theatre, and the arts in general, leading to better educational and social outcomes.
Previous tours were A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2023), and The Tempest (2024).
Our Spring 2025 show, Much Ado About Nothing, will be performed in late April and May, and this year’s tour will include more pre-show activities and opportunities for children to participate, on- or off-stage.
