TWELFTH NIGHT OPEN AUDITIONS

TWELFTH NIGHT is a new American musical originally created for Public Works, a radically inclusive program at The Public Theater in New York City that believes “Culture belongs to everyone.”

Public Works aims to restore and build community by connecting people through the creation of extraordinary works of art. Public Works invites community members to join in the creation of ambitious works of participatory theater and perform alongside professional artists in beautiful, large-scale pageant productions. Public Works deliberately blurs the line between professional artists and community members, creating theater that is not only for the people, but by and of the people as well. Public Works seeks to create a space where we can not only reflect on the world as it is, but where we can propose new possibilities for what our society might be. The Public Works model continues to be adopted by theaters across the country, and around the world including at Seattle Rep (co-founded by Marya) and now at the Public!

AVAILABLE ROLES

  • SEBASTIAN - Handsome, brave, adventurous. Sebastian is Viola’s missing brother who is rescued from the shipwreck by Antonio and, after several wild moments of mistaken identity (including a fight with Andrew Aguecheek), marries Olivia and is reunited with his sister
  • FABIAN - Mischievous, loyal, funny. Fabian is one of Olivia’s house staff and conspires with Sir Toby Belch and Maria to pull a ridiculous prank on Malvolio. Often seen with Sir Toby and The Revelers, Fabian is good at finding the party and joining along.
  • KID CREW - Fun, kind, playful. The Kid Crew is the group of young people who live in Illyria who play and spend time together in the town square and on the beach. They play games, ride bikes, and join in the events of the play alongside the adults.
  • THE GOSSIPS - Gorgeous, quick-witted, confident. The Gossips are the group of friends who hand out on the stoops, in the town square, and at the beauty salon of Illyria. They have several featured moments when they sing to the audience to explain what just happened or what is about to happen. In our production, they will have fans, play cards, and do each other’s hair and nails. They are the heart of this neighborhood.
  • THE REVELERS - Wild, colorful, carefree. The Revelers are our group of Mardi Gras partiers who hang out with Sir Toby and bring a good time with them wherever they go.
  • THE ILLYRIAN ENSEMBLE - The Illyrian Ensemble is made up of all the citizens of this beachside, musical town called Illyria. They live, work, and play here. They all know each other. Each member of the Illyrian Ensemble will build their own character and have a unique vocation and costume as the folks who people this town.
