Fayetteville’s Sweet Tea Shakespeare will hold auditions for two upcoming productions, according to a news release.
Roles are being cast in “The Merry Wives of Windsor” and “Blue Ridge Juliet.”
The auditions are scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 14, at Capitol Encore Academy, 126 Hay St.
Rehearsals for January performances of “The Merry Wives of Windsor” begin in November. The adaptation by Traycie Kuhn-Zapata tells the story of a quarry too clever to be caught, as the vain and boastful Sir John Falstaff pursues two housewives, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page.
Adapted by Jeremy Fiebig, “Blue Ridge Juliet” weaves the poignant tale of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers with the evocative melodies of the Appalachians, the release said. Rehearsals will be in January, with performances scheduled for February.'For more information about Sweet Tea Shakespeare auditions and performances, go to sweetteashakespeare.com.
