Auditions for our FALL SHOW - Shakespeare\'s Love’s Labours\' Lost (a modern tale): Grades 9 -12
Directed by Suzy Messerole (Associate Artistic Director History Theatre) Description: Love’s Labours’ Lost is a Shakespearean coming-of-age story.
Four college students take a vow to become serious scholars by renouncing earthly pleasures – specifically, women. The arrival of a contingency from France quickly calls into question the wisdom of such a vow. Set in the present, and exploring contemporary themes, Love’s Labours’ Lost is a story of questioning the true nature of knowledge, encountering love (and loss) for the first time, and the sometimes painful, sometimes beautiful journey of growing up.
