Auditions for "Much Ado About Nothing" set!

Director Isaac Olson is excited to announce Audition dates for William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing".

Auditions will be held at the Dassel History Center April 20, 25, and May 4 at 6pm. Auditions will be cold readings from the script.

A comedy by William Shakespeare thought to have been written in 1598 and 1599. The primary plot of Much Ado About Nothing turns on the courtship and scandal involving young Hero and her suitor, Claudio, but the witty war of words between Claudio's friend Benedick and Hero's cousin Beatrice often takes center stage. Set in Messina, the play begins as Don Pedro's army returns after a victory.

You don't need to be on stage to have fun with FungusAmongus. For example, we're always looking for:

  • Stage Managing / Crew Members. Do you want to help behind the scenes with the magic that goes on during the show? Help manage the stage and with set during our productions!

  • Treat wranglers. Could you bake some yummy bars for us to serve at intermission? Could you serve those treats and coffee at our shows?
