Classes take place at The Dance Factory inside WestShore Plaza, and there is free parking in the mall lot.

Auditions: As We Like It

Auditions are being held for As We Like It, a new play by Oded Gross directed by Roseanne Olszewski. The process will use cold readings from the script. Because this is a new work, pages will not be provided beforehand, so actors should be prepared to make strong choices and read more than once. Roles include Rose, a young Jewish woman, her uncle Avram, Miriam who is Avram’s teenage daughter, Idis who is another Jewish woman, and the fraternal twins Roland and Kurt, young men in their twenties who live as wanderers. The play follows Rose as she pushes her family to rehearse Shakespeare’s As You Like It for a wedding between a Duke and a Fairy Queen, even though the wedding and the peaceful woodland rehearsal space exist only in her imagination. This hope-filled vision shields her from the harsh truth that the family is hiding from the Nazis in the forests of Poland during World War II. Callbacks will follow the initial auditions.
