A Midsummer Night's Dream
Auditions - 12 and 14 February 2025
On 12 and 14 February 2025 we'll be holding auditions for our May production of Shakespeare's most popular comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The roles are listed below, with a breakdown of proposed playing ages. These are just a guide – there will inevitably be flexibility in terms of ages. However, due to safeguarding issues we regret that casting is not open to under-18s.
We have prepared audition pieces for each of the characters, which you can download below to prepare for the auditions. Alternatively, if you prefer to do another piece of your own choice, either from A Midsummer Night's Dream or any other play, that's fine too.
We have PDFs of the script - if you need one sending to you, email buxtondrama@yahoo.co.uk. Likewise you have any other questions, please get in touch.
A Midsummer Night's Dream runs at the Pavilion Arts Centre, Buxton from 15 to 17 May 2025.
