UGLY SHAKESPEARE COMPANY NATIONAL TOUR 2009
‘The Ugly Shakespeare Company’ is New Zealand’s leading TIE company, having toured this country’s secondary schools for 13 years, bringing a unique brand of Shakespeare to tens of thousands of students on each tour.
The Company is now auditioning for male actors for the 2009 tour of New Zealand and Sydney.
On the tour you will perform two 50 minute shows – each one a very warped, madcap and comic take on a Shakespeare play (on this tour it will be ‘Othello’ and ‘Hamlet’).
We are looking for young, fit and energetic actors who can handle a demanding 5 month tour, who have an interest in Shakespeare and comedy and who look funny dressed as girls.
Any other skills (singing, dancing, juggling, acrobatics etc.) are most welcome.
Rehearsals will take place in Auckland from late January to mid February with the tour starting immediately after and running for 4-5 months.
This is an amazing opportunity for professional development, stage-time and to see New Zealand and Sydney for free. There is a weekly wage plus accommodation, transport and a meal allowance included.
To register your interest, please send a simple CV with headshot to richard@ugly.org.nz . Submissions close on December 3rd.
Auditions will be held in December in Auckland and Wellington.
