AUTENNOTDOIT and BIG DAWG PRODUCTIONS
announce auditions for
WILLIAM AND JUDITH
by Cody Daigle-Orians
“Let me imagine, since the facts are so hard to come by, what would have happened had Shakespeare had a wonderfully gifted sister, called Judith, let us say…” – Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
“While the male/female dynamics of the script shine a light on Shakespeare’s own work, and not always flatteringly, the play also tells a ripping yarn of its own.” – John Staton, StarNews
ACTIVELY SEEKING A DIVERSE, INCLUSIVE ENSEMBLE OF DEDICATED PERFORMERS. Hoping to see you there!
