Additional open auditions will be held for the Renaissance Center Theater Company's April 2008 production of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure on Tuesday, January 8 and Wednesday, January 9 at the Renaissance Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, from 6 pm to 9 pm, or by appointment with the director.

Casting is open to all; no previous experience performing Shakespeare is required. Prepared pieces are welcome, but not required; all auditioners will be asked to read from the play.

Performance dates are April 23-26, 2008. With over twenty years of experience onstage and backstage, Pangallo, formerly the founding artistic director of the Salem Theatre Company and an assistant director for the Rebel Shakespeare Company, holds an MA in Shakespearean Studies from King's College London and has worked as a dramaturgical assistant at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London.

a new resource for the Pioneer Valley

Theatre groups in the Pioneer Valley have a new place to communicate! On this blog I will post press releases, audition notices, requests for help finding special props or costumes, and everything else related to shows in Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties. The particular focus will be on community theatre groups, but college and high school dramatics will be welcome as well. Please email anything you'd like included to: TheatrePV@yahoo.com and it will be posted as soon as possible. On with the show! --- Jacqueline Haney
