Actors

The St. Louis Shakespeare Festival is now accepting audition sign ups and video submissions from equity and non-equity members for this year’s 2025 Shakespeare in the Streets production written by Deasia Page and directed by Kathryn Bentley. SITS is a theatrical experience that combines the history of one St Louis community with a Shakespeare play. This year’s project honors the historic East St Louis neighborhood and is adapted from Shakespeare’s play Richard III. The new play will be inspired by stories of people ESTL and performed on stage in the streets in September 2025
