Confetti Stage is excited to announce auditions for The World Premiere of
“MacWreck!” Witten and Directed by Laura Darling.



What happens when a struggling theatre company attempts to put on
Shakespeare’s most cursed play? With everything on the line, the company
must pull off a show stopping performance despite maddingly impossible
odds, no budget, missing props, and maybe even a ghost! This meta theatre
comedy shows the real life madness behind the curtain with real life laughs!



This show will take place this summer INSIDE the meeting house at the
Shaker Heritage site. Yes! Summer outdoor Shakespeare – now Indoors! Fans!
Electricity!



All roles are open and are gender non-specific unless mentioned below.
Names may be altered depending on casting. All actors/actresses are
encouraged to audition. The following roles are open for casting:
