Broadway On The Side – Macbeth – Reader’s Theatre.
Location: Ogden, UT
Audition / Call Type: Theater
Auditions for MACBETH will be held by appointment Thursday, September 7 in person from 6:30-8:30 pm or virtually through an audition submission.
The format for our Shakespearean plays is different. We use blocking, limited sets and props, little to no costuming, and scripts in hands to bring each story to life.
This is the SHAKES’ ON THE SIDE series and is our answer to making Shakespeare more accessible to both actors and viewers alike. This medium provides more comfortability with the text for the actors and the opportunity to truly get it right so the audience has a greater chance of understanding and enjoying the Bard’s works. Less time in, more performance gratification out. Plus it looks stellar on a resume.
