Some roles have already been cast. Though we are offering generous stipends, and significant opportunities. Ideally we would like to cast actors for all three shows. Actors who are familiar with Shakespeare or are willing to develop their skills are welcome to apply. The Company is based in the South Shore, and will tour schools and multiple venues in the South Shore and Cape Cod with ‘Hamlet’, and then for our summer season we will be based in Plymouth for 4 weeks and will then tour for another 4 weeks.
