DRAMA AUDITIONS: A Midsummer Night's Dream



DRAMA AUDITIONS

Every year at Gooseberry, a performance is held right before winter break. This year, the Drama Club will be putting on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Inspired by the Halloween Dance, Mrs. Acuña and Ms. Thrussell explain that their plan is to use a Victorian costuming and setting theme, which they hope to be quite ambitious.
  • Students may try out and potentially be cast as any role, regardless of gender.
  • Shenanigans may cost you a part!
  • Drama students get preference for roles, but anyone may try out.
  • If you have multiple characters trying out for roles: We're going to try to spread out the roles to as many players as possible, so you may only see one of your characters getting a spot.
  • Not everyone will get a role.
  • Students may also apply to work backstage in the technical crew.
