What: Ignite! is holding auditions for the fourth show in our 2010-11 Booklight Reader’s Theatre season.  In one of Shakespeare's greatest dramatic comedies, The Merchant of Venice is the tale of two merchant men who borrow money from the shrewd, famed Jew, Shylock, in order to help one solve his financial woes and win the hand of his beloved.  As he does so across the seas, the debt is defaulted and the friend left behind must pay the consequences of their contract - a pound of flesh.  While a trial begins to dispute the legality of the claim, the clever bride secretly steps in and saves the day!  

 

Who:  Director is looking for an ensemble of men & women to appear ages 18-65.  Please be prepared to cold read from the script.    

 

When & Where:  Thursday, February 3, 7:00 PM, at the Blue Door Theatre, 815 W. Garland Ave.

Performances will be March 11 & 13.
