The year’s second open auditions will be held on Saturday, April 18 @ 11 AM - 11:59 AM SL Time and Saturday, April 25 @ 1 PM SL Time. We are hoping to launch an open-ended run of Twelfth Night: Act 2 (Production Serial: OEP2) in June, with rehearsals starting in May, exact timing TBD. Auditions would be for roles in this upcoming production, and also several possible productions, including a Challenge Production (a non-Shakespearean production) and Twelfth Night: Act 3. Please be sure you have SL voice configured prior to auditioning.
- Please have prepared a passage (from Twelfth Night, Act 2) of no more than 5 minutes. Polish it well; this should demonstrate what you are capable of at your best.
- Be ready to perform another segment from the perspective of the character you wish to play (though you might not get casted as that character).
- Be prepared to demonstrate (voice) range.
If you can’t make it to the audition times, please email item #1 as an mp3 file (no larger than 10 mb) to production at SLshakespeare dot com, along with a detailed schedule of your availability from May to August, inclusive.
Auditions will be held at the SL Globe Theatre.

See PR here: Auditions for SL Shakespeare Company
I’m happy to announce that a new year has launched - the SL Shakespeare Company is moving onto its second year, and the play we will focus on bringing to Second Life is Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.
But, as you know, we do more than just Shakespeare, and we sometimes take breaks from the year’s production. Last year, we stuck with Hamlet until we got sick of him, and took a bit of a hiatus with a month-long production of a tag-team costumed staged reading series of Twelfth Night, and also, we performed our first non-Shakespearean play just last month with One’s a Pawn of Time. Our goal this year is to be able to present the complete Twelfth Night play to you, in our usual extravagance. Production items for Twelfth Night will be in the !Twelfth Night category, and production blog items for non-Shakespearean productions will be in the !Challenge category.
This will be our production blog for the entire year.
It’s an entirely new look and different color scheme - Each entry is now marked by a large month/date bullet, which works well for a production blog. Since the blog is meant for just this year (the year of Twelfth Night), the theme also has a hint of the sea and parchment messages in bottles. It also comes with a neat accessibility feature. On the top right hand corner there’s a little widget you can click on to easily up or down the font size!
