BPA AUDITIONS for ROMEO & JULIET
Tuesday, March 13 & Thursday, March 15 @ 6:30 – 9:30 p.m.
at Bainbridge Performing Arts (BPA)
Bainbridge Performing Arts is pleased to announce AUDITIONS for ROMEO & JULIET, March 13 and 15 at BPA. One of the Bard’s most popular romantic tragedies, ROMEO & JULIET centers on a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families that disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic results for Romeo and Juliet. Revenge, love, and a secret marriage force the young star-crossed lovers to grow up quickly — and fate causes them to take their own lives in despair. BPA transforms the Bloedel meadow in this classic tale that’s not to be missed.
Run dates are July 13, 14, 15, 19, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28 and 29, with a Pay-What-You-Can Preview July 12. Rehearsals are May 5 through July 11: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. plus Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
ROMEO & JULIET includes roles for 12 – 16 men, ages 16 and up and 5 – 10 women, ages 16 and up. Those auditioning are requested to prepare a memorized one to one-and-a-half-minute Shakespearean or classical (pre-1900) dramatic and/or comedic monologue for their audition. The monologue should not be from ROMEO & JULIET. All roles are open to audition, and interested parties may view a complete listing of characters online at
