SUMMARY:Audition: Romeo and Juliet: R&J
DESCRIPTION:Audition: Romeo and Juliet: R&J\nWritten by William Shakespeare\nDirected by: Travis Bedard \nRomeo and Juliet is one of the most performed texts in the history of stage. there’s literally one in town rehearsing right now\, why do it again?  \n1. Because it’s great. 2 Another chance for performers and audiences to spend time with great plays is great\, and 3. if one wants to experiment one needs a known quantity. We are taking on a deeply known text\, the most famous love story ever told\, as our constant so that we can let performers assume roles they normally wouldn’t be allowed to perform and truly make them their own.  \nWe’re going to focus on honest scene work and a dedicated ensemble to breathe life into the Verona that surrounds this love tragedy through Poor Theatre style techniques and leverage the intimacy that Broom Street Theatre offers so that audiences feel like they are living these moments with us.  \nThe lead roles for this show are cast. \nWe are auditioning for 4-5 ensemble roles that will involve movement and likely some stage combat (staff/club). These roles do not have a lot of lines but will be very active in helping to build/perform the world of the play.  \nDate/Time: Sun. Oct. 11th\, 1p-3p & Mon. Oct 12th\, 7:15p-10p\nLocation: Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center\, 504 S Brearly St\, Madison\, WI 53703 \nAuditions will consist of any 2 minute or shorter monologue you feel excited to perform (Shakespeare or not) or cold readings from Romeo and Juliet. We want you to show your best.  \nPerformances will be April 9 – 29th\, 2027. \nContact Travis Bedard if you have questions: travis.bedard@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Dragonsocks & Queen of the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Dragonsocks & Queen of the Universe \nWritten by local playwright Brendon Smith \nDirected by Suzan Kurry (Artistic Director of KR Women’s Theater) \n \n  \n  \n(Please Note: If EventBrite says we’re sold out\, only the presale tickets are sold out. We hold a number of walk-up tickets to ensure we always have pay-what-you-can tickets available. Walk-up tickets are first come\, first served.) \nJosephine is spiteful\, bitter\, sharp-tongued\, and absolutely certain everyone in the nearby town hates her—especially after she decked someone she thought was her sister. With nowhere else to turn\, her adult child\, Reg\, brings Indy\, a prototype robotic caregiver with infinite patience. What follows is a comedy fueled by stubbornness\, sarcasm\, and unexpected heart\, asking whether it’s ever possible to rewrite our programming—human or otherwise. \n\n \n\nPerformances will be October 30 – November 14. Show times are 7:30 PM Thursday – Saturday\, and 2 PM on Sunday and November 14.
