AUDITION for The Winter's Tale!!!

The Winter's Tale has opened for in-person and self-tape auditions! Come and be a part of our large ensemble cast for this magical production of Shakespeare's classic tragicomedy, just in time for the lead up to the festive season!

• Fri 26th Jun, 10:00–13:00, Downing College Music Centre

Hi everyone! I'm Ed (he/him), a third-year Engling at Downing and I am super excited to be directing one of my favourite Shakespeare plays The Winter's Tale at the beautiful Howard Theatre in Michaelmas Week 7. This production promises to be magical and fairytale-esque creating the perfect festive feeling to get you in the Christmas spirit just in time for the run-up to Christmas!

In-person auditions will be taking place on Friday 26th June in the Downing College Music Centre from 10am-1pm (more information in the audition pack). We apologise for the quick turnaround, but we don't expect you to be off book, or fully familiar with your audition piece at all, and will take this into account in your audition!

We will also be accepting self-tape submissions until 23:59 on Sunday 5th July. Given the quick turnaround of in-person auditions and the chaos of May Week, we strongly encourage you to submit a selftape if you are interested in being in the play but are unable to attend in-person auditions!

Please read the audition pack below for more information and to sign up for an audition slot:

I am looking forward to meeting you all in auditions! :)
