Prenzie Players will conduct auditions for William Shakespeare’s tragedy “Hamlet,” under the direction of Catherine Bodenbender, on January 13th from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and January 14th from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Village Theatre, 2113 E. 11th St., in the Village of East Davenport in Iowa.
The Shakespearean oriented theater in Iowa also has a few other events coming up this month.
The theater is requesting that those auditioning be prepared to read from the script of the Shakespeare play and have stated that folks wanting to audition don’t need to prepare a monologue ahead of time, nor do you need to bother with a headshot.
The production of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” will be performed as part of the Prenzie 20th season. “Hamlet” performance dates will be May 24, 25, 30 & June 1 at 7 p.m. and May 26 at 3 p.m. at Village Theatre.
“We will be casting all roles. We like our casts to represent reality, and the reality is that people come in all different kinds of packaging,” states a Prenzie Players release. “We are committed to inclusive and color-conscious casting and strongly encourage all races, ethnicities, gender identities, ages, sizes, as well as performers with disabilities to audition.”
Prenzie’s most recent production was “Much Ado About Nothing” in August 2023 at the Village Theatre. Those auditioning do not need to prepare a monologue in advance, nor do they need to provide a headshot. Auditions will involve readings from the script.
