FlagShakes 2019 Auditions are February 8th from 6-9pm at the Murdoch Center in Downtown Flagstaff.

To reserve an audition slot, email Taylor: taybayharrison1996@gmail.com.

Please come prepared with a headshot, resume, and two contrasting monologues.

The season includes:

"God of Vengeance" and "Indecent": April 26–May 12

From its revolutionary plot to its torrid production history, "God of Vengeance" is an astonishing play. In the century since Sholem Asch penned his tale of the spiritual at war with the carnal, the play has been admired, translated, parodied, criticized, banned, prosecuted, forgotten, revived, and celebrated. This storied production history inspired the play "Indecent", written by Paula Vogel and commissioned by Yale Repertory Theatre and American Revolutions: The United States History Cycle at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. FlagShakes is thrilled to present these beautiful plays in tandem so audience members can experience Asch’s "God of Vengeance" and the truly fascinating story of how this masterpiece impacted American history and theatre in Vogel’s Indecent.

"Much Ado About Nothing": May 30–June 16

In the aftermath of war, returning soldiers discover that finding love and building their lives anew is a journey that can take some unexpected turns. Now bitter rivals, former lovers Benedick and Beatrice lock horns in a battle for supremacy of wit, while Beatrice’s family is ripped apart by betrayal. Add a bumbling detective, a prince in disguise, scheming villains, and passionate young lovers and you have Shakespeare’s warmest, funniest comedy.

"Duchess of Malfi": June 6–June 16

Werewolves and madmen may seem spectacular to a modern audience, but the most shocking scene in "Duchess of Malfi" when it premiered in 1613 was of a woman proposing to a man. Join FlagShakes for a tale of fantastical romance and poetic tragedy as we travel to Italy for a poignant retelling of this enduring parable of hypocrisy, ambition, and love.

"Winter’s Tale": September 6–22

“Exit Pursued by a Bear” — thus begins the second half of this story of a family torn apart by jealousy and separated by oceans. Through powers both human and mystical, and situations both dire and zany, the characters journey through their own vices to find love and forgiveness. Shakespeare’s greatest gift to us may be his stories of redemption; nothing, not even a very hungry bear, should keep you away from this one!
