Mercury Hamlet is performed just about anywhere, in just about 100 minutes, by an ensemble of ten actors prepared for just about anything. Each performance, players subject themselves to the law of the draw to determine which of ten tracks they will perform. We are currently seeking actors to become members of our growing ensemble.
Quicksilver Shakespeare was founded out of a vision to see the greatest classical roles interpreted by any actor without regards to modern casting convention. Actors of all races, ages, and genders are strongly encouraged to intend.
Auditions will be held at Vagabond School of the Arts - 4001 N Ravenswood Ave #504, Chicago, IL 60613
Performances are slated to begin early summer of 2019. Rehearsals will take place Monday and Tuesday evenings (to accommodate other gigs). Attendance is required at one rehearsal per week.
1 minute Shakespeare monologue against type. Please bring a hard copy of your headshot and resume, and any major conflicts/other productions you have booked from now through next summer. Callbacks will be held November 5 & 6 in the evening and will consist of sides from the show - we will only ask you to attend one day.
