Helen Hayes Award-winning theater offers next generation Synetic stars the opportunity to work with professional directors and choreographers as they cut their teeth on wordless Shakespeare

Auditions for Synetic Theater's Teen Production of Romeo and Juliet will take place at Synetic Studio, 2155 Crystal Plaza Arcade on September 5th and 12th, 2015.

Synetic Teen Productions are a physically intensive and artistically challenging training program that results in high quality, professional level productions at our Crystal City Theater. Teens cast work closely with professional directors, fight and movement choreographers, and as part of their mentorship receive special coaching on character and technique from senior Synetic company members.

At the end of eight rigorous weeks the teen ensemble has a fully staged, full-length production, to go along with an experience of a lifetime. Synetic Teens will perform on the same set and stage as the adult company. Many Synetic Teen production alumni go on to star in Synetic main stage productions.

Auditions will be held by appointment only from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 5 and 12, 2015.

Auditions can be scheduled by emailing

In Synetic's twist on Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare's classic characters find themselves falling in love among the gears of a giant clock as they race against time to outrun their fate. Cast members will have the opportunity to be mentored by current Synetic company members as they learn the unique and visually stunning physical theater techniques that are the bread and butter of Synetic's stagecraft. The original production directed by Synetic co-founder Paata Tsikurishvili and choreographed by Irina Tsikurishvili won multiple Helen Hayes awards when it was first produced.
