Staten Island Shakespearean Theatre Company Audition Announcement: The Comedy of Errors By William Shakespeare Directed by Emmie D’Amico A Comedy of Errors is one of Shakespeare’s funniest shows. Like a cartoon come to life, the many cases of mistaken identity when two sets of twins with the same name are separated at birth and unbeknownst to anyone, end up in the same town, are abundant! Our production, inspired by the campy comedy of drag and clowning, will explore the assumptions made about a person based on their appearance, and how not directly addressing an issue can make situations much more complicated. We are looking for physical and dynamic actors with a strong grasp on heightened text to jump into these timeless roles with energy who are willing to build a company mindset of mutual respect. Auditions will take place on Friday, July 11, from 6:00 to 10:00pm and then Saturday, July 12 from 4:00 to 8:00pm in The Learning Center, Building G, at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, 1000 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301. To make an audition appointment email Emmie D’Amico at [email protected] with preferable time slot and we will accommodate as best as possible.
Show’s on for tonight and next weekend! https://www.silive.com/entertainment/2025/06/shakespearean-theatres-the-importance-of-being-earnest-at-snug-harbor-this-weekend-and-next.html?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwK7yQNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHhmzLZC_kiA068Z8ha1PNbVyB2sAhoRGxO31ttnDkoUsmKmxVDY7AQmKfIqr_aem_tAIwe4eSpfux5qg7gZ9uRw
