Intensive Description: Join us for Dothan's first Shakespeare in the Park experience! Over the course of three weeks, actors will hone important skills, including: text analysis, voice and speech, physical characterization, and acting. To conclude the intensive, the cast will present a celebratory one-act version of Shakespeare's As You Like It with folk music-infused festivities at Dothan's Porter Park, free for the community! 

​

​Play Description: Orlando loves Rosalind, but before he can do anything about it, he must run away from his villainous brother. Rosalind loves Orlando, but before she can do anything about it, she must abandon court and wear a disguise. Both end up in the Forest of Arden, where there is definitely love in the air. But will it find Orlando and Rosalind?

​​

Audition Style: Auditions will take place in a warm and supportive group setting. Actors will read sides from the play.
