Actors Wanted

The Vineyard Playhouse is holding professional auditions by appointment only for Actors’ Equity Association (AEA) actors on Monday, May 7, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Roles are available in two shows, The Screenwriter’s Daughter by Larry Mollin, and Fenway: A Vineyard Love Letter by Randal Myler. These shows will be performed this summer but not at the Playhouse as renovations are not expected to be complete until late fall.

In addition, on Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., the Playhouse is holding open auditions for two outdoor Shakespeare shows; Romeo and Juliet, directed by MJ Bruder Munafo, and Twelfth Night, directed by Chelsea McCarthy. Both shows will run in repertory from July 18 through August 18.

Non-union (non-AEA) actors of all ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to prepare a short Shakespearean monologue (under two minutes) for the audition. Teens will be considered for roles in both plays.

The Shakespeare auditions take place at the Tisbury Amphitheater off State Road in Vineyard Haven

For more information on either audition, or to make an appointment for May 7, contact Geneva Monks at geneva@vineyardplayhouse.org.
