Creative Greensboro announced on Tuesday, May 28, that it will be holding auditions for “Into Shakespeare’s Woods, or What the Puck is Happening?” on Monday, June 17 and Tuesday, June 18.

The organization announced that “Creative Greensboro seeks a racially-diverse, multi-generational cast ages 12 and older. A short, memorized Shakespeare monologue is preferred for audition. Headshots and resumes are recommended but not required. In-person rehearsals will be held on evenings and weekends as schedules permit, with performances on August 8-11. The Summer Shakespeare program is a volunteer performance opportunity.”

“Into Shakespeare’s Woods, or What the Puck is Happening?” is a play being directed by guest artist David Seebren. The performance will take place outdoors in various spots at the Greensboro Arboretum.

According to a description of the event, “Actors and audiences will travel together to find out what is really happening in Shakespeare’s Woods.”

The auditions will take place from 7 p.m. to  9 p.m. on June 17 and June 18 in the Greensboro Cultural Center at 200 N. Davie St. in downtown Greensboro.

Auditions will be held by appointment only.
