Open
auditions for the Performing Arts at Oakton production of Shakespeare's
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" are scheduled 6 - 9 p.m., Wednesday,
Jan. 26, and Thursday, Jan. 27, at Oakton Community College, 1600
E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.
This modern adaptation of Shakespeare's supernatural play-within-a-play
takes place in a college setting in Ohio. Academics, hippies, and
laborers substitute for Shakespeare's original cast of fairies, lovers,
and "mechanicals." The director is casting all ages and types, male
and female. Prepare a Shakespeare monologue, or choose to read from
provided scripts.
"A
Midsummer Night's Dream" will be presented March 17 - April 3, at
Oakton's Des Plaines campus. For more information or to order tickets,
