Shakespeare in the Park
$400.00
In 2024, we will be preparing and presenting A Comedy of Errors. This is our 21st year of sharing Shakespeare with the community! If you are looking for information about attending A Comedy of Errors please visit this page.
This is our 21st year of sharing Shakespeare with the community! This is an incredible service opportunity.
While being a highlight for families and participants, this commitment is demanding on schedules with late night tech rehearsals and culminating in multiple performances in community parks and school field trips in late May and early June. Placement is by audition. Play Theory prerequisite is required for participation as well as concurrent enrollment in a PT class or current or past coaching of a PT class. *We will be allowing freshmen with PT experience to audition this year.
Note- this cast requires commitment. Each time you miss a rehearsal it impacts the entire cast. If you audition, the rehearsals need to be a high priority.
Additionally, Shakespeare participants are required to help with TNT’s Big Day of Giving Fundraiser, help find sponsors for the show, and assist with the distribution of handbills and posters.
Participants will learn their lines early in the season and work diligently, looking outward, to make the team stronger and to make the show a generous gift to our community. Attendance at all rehearsals is mandatory and unexcused absences will result in your role being reassigned.

AUDITION SIDES:
Act 1 Scene 2
FIRST MERCHANT
Sir, I commend you to your own content. [Merchant exits.]
ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
He that commends me to mine own content
Commends me to the thing I cannot get.
I to the world am like a drop of water
That in the ocean seeks another drop,
Who, falling there to find his fellow forth,
Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself.
So I, to find a mother and a brother,
In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
Act 3 Scene 2
ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE Why, how now, Dromio. Where runn’st thou so fast?
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE Do you know me, sir? Am I Dromio? Am I your man? Am I myself?
ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE Thou art Dromio, thou art my man, thou art thyself.
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE I am an ass, I am a woman’s man, and besides myself.
ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE What woman’s man? And how besides thyself?
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE Marry, sir, besides myself I am due to a woman, one that claims me, one that haunts me, one that will have me.
ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE What claim lays she to thee?
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE Marry, sir, such claim as you would lay to your horse, and she would have me as a beast; not that I being a beast she would have me, but that she, being a very beastly creature, lays claim to me.
