We couldn’t let Shakespeare’s birthday pass without sharing audition info with actors interested in joining the Shakespeare party this summer! 🎉

We’re looking for a handful of versatile, collaborative actors to bring our 2026 production of Shakespeare’s JULIUS CAESAR to life at The Falls this summer! 🗡️
Join us at the Edith Mortenson Center Theatre at Augustana University on Sunday, May 3 at 2:00 pm for a fun, relaxed audition with director
Please prepare a memorized, one-minute Shakespeare monologue (any genre, verse preferred), and be ready to cold read from Julius Caesar.
Have your June and July schedules handy to fill out rehearsal period conflicts on your audition form.
Feel free to message us with questions!
