Auditions for Comedy of Errors

This year’s Shakespeare in the Park will be the Comedy of Errors, 15th and 16th July 2023. 

Auditions are on Tuesday 25th April and Wednesday 26th April.

The auditions will be in a private room at The Highbury Vaults, BS2 8DE. If you are can’t make either of the audition dates, let us know and we will try to arrange a zoom audition for you. On Sunday we will send out the audition pieces, so keep an eye out for that email. The show will be directed by Lucy Elmes and Jane Leiss, and produced by Lucy Black. If you have any questions, please contact Lucy Black on lb8658@my.bristol.ac.uk. 

FYI you don’t have to be a member to audition, but you will need to join CADS if you successfully secure a role. CADS membership costs £15 per year.

Also, if you’d like a non-performing role (e.g. costumes or marketing) then please get in touch with Lucy Black on lb8658@my.bristol.ac.uk.
