[Capdist-auditions] Roles still available for Romeo and Juliet!

[Peggi P]

*Hello,*


*Classic Theater Guild is still auditioning for the following roles in the
upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet at the Helderberg Theater Festival:*

*Friar Lawrence* -  A Franciscan friar, friend to both Romeo and Juliet.
Kind, civic-minded, a proponent of moderation, and always ready with a
plan, Friar Lawrence secretly marries the impassioned lovers in hopes that
the union might eventually bring peace to Verona. As well as being a
Catholic holy man, Friar Lawrence is also an expert in the use of seemingly
mystical potions and herbs.

*The Nurse* -  Juliet’s nurse, the woman who breast-fed Juliet when she was
a baby and has cared for Juliet her entire life. A vulgar, long-winded, and
sentimental character, the Nurse provides comic relief with her frequently
inappropriate remarks and speeches. But, until a disagreement near the
play’s end, the Nurse is Juliet’s faithful confidante and loyal
intermediary in Juliet’s affair with Romeo. She provides a contrast with
Juliet, given that her view of love is earthy and sexual, whereas Juliet is
idealistic and intense. The Nurse believes in love and wants Juliet to have
a nice-looking husband, but the idea that Juliet would want to sacrifice
herself for love is incomprehensible to her.

*Sampson & Gregory* -  Two servants of the house of Capulet, who, like
their master, hate the Montagues. At the outset of the play, they
successfully provoke some Montague men into a fight.

*Abram* -  Montague’s servant, who fights with Sampson and Gregory in the
first scene of the play.


*Production dates* are July 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 29th, and 30th in Altamont,
NY, and August 6th at Proctors in Schenectady, NY.

Any interested actors, please contact director Ed Bablin @ (518) 424-6579.

Thank you!
