We are seeking actors 18 years+ for an upcoming production of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Rehearsals begin as early as September 28th. Rehearsal days/times may consist of weeknights or weekends - dependent on actors’ availability.

Character & Content Advisory
Hamlet is a masterpiece, but it’s also high drama! Our production dives headfirst into themes of grief, murder, mental distress, and psychological manipulation, with stage portrayals of violence, gore, incestuous references, sexual content, and misogyny.

On the technical side, expect strobe effects, sudden loud noises, and jump scares.

We prioritize a safe, collaborative environment to explore these dark themes, so come ready to play!

Audition Criteria/Materials

Monologue Selection:

• Perform a 12–18 line monologue chosen exclusively from one of Prince Hamlet’s speeches.

• Keep your delivery simple, intimate, and text-focused.
• Favor the camera side - treat the lens as your scene partner—bring it into the conversation, react to it, and play off its presence.
• We are looking for a conversational feel, a strong connection to the audience, and a natural sense of fun and play in the language.

• Format: Video submission (Max file size: 100MB).
• Quality: Smartphone/phone video is completely acceptable. Professional lighting or high-end recording setups are not desired/required. Keep it simple.
• Slate: Please state your name clearly at the start of your video before beginning your monologue.

Character Breakdown

All roles are open to actors of any identity, gender expression, or background. Bring your unique perspective to these iconic roles!

• HAMLET – The brilliant, grieving, and endlessly overthinking Prince of Denmark. Equal parts tortured philosopher, sarcastic wit, and reluctant avenger.
• CLAUDIUS – The newly crowned King. Smooth, charismatic, and dangerously ambitious—a master politician hiding a guilty conscience.
• GERTRUDE – The Queen of Denmark and Hamlet’s mother. Pragmatic, deeply affectionate, and trying to keep her world intact amidst chaos.
• HORATIO – Hamlet’s most loyal friend and confidant. Grounded, fiercely devoted, and the voice of reason in a court gone mad.
• POLONIUS – The Lord Chamberlain. Long-winded, pedantic, and overly involved in everyone’s business, but genuinely convinced they are helping.
• OPHELIA – A young noblewoman caught in a web of court politics, duty, and tragic heartbreak. Spirited, expressive, and deeply vulnerable.
• LAERTES – Ophelia’s passionate, action-oriented brother. Fiery, impulsive, and quick to defend their family’s honor at any cost.
• ROSENCRANTZ – Hamlet’s childhood friend turned royal spy. Easygoing, well-meaning, and hopelessly out of their depth in court intrigue.
• GUILDENSTERN – Rosencrantz’s sharp partner-in-crime. Analytical and eager to please the Crown, yet constantly confused by Hamlet’s mind games.
• THE GHOST – The spectral vision of Hamlet’s murdered father. Eerie, imposing, and demanding justice from beyond the grave.

Distraught after the untimely death of his daughter, Abraham Reed sets about capturing her image in clockwork—building a young girl so unquestionably real that even he is unable to fathom her making.

The Clockmaker’s Daughter is a beautifully moving, original folk myth; a story of love, loss, and hope woven with captivating music.
