The St. Louis Shakespeare Festival is now accepting video auditions from equity and non-equity actors for the 2023 TourCo production, Merry Wives of Windsor, written by William Shakespeare and directed by Suki Peters.
- Rehearsal Schedule: July 3 – July 31, 2023
- Performances: August 1-30 (Tuesdays-Sundays)
TourCo is a completely free outdoor production that brings 90-minute, family-friendly Shakespeare adaptations to public spaces across Missouri and Illinois. Suki’s Merry Wives will evoke a 90’s TV sitcom in front of an active live studio (park) audience.
Six actors will make up the company, playing many roles. Actors of all racial identities, gender expressions, and physical abilities will be considered for all tracks. All positions are paid. Equity and non-Equity actors are encouraged to audition. Cast will be expected to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
