Performance Dates: August 21st -30th, 2025

Queen City Shakespeare Company invites actors, movers, and creators to dive into our whirlwind reimagining of Shakespeare’s final masterpiece!

We’re casting a bold, physical ensemble to shape this interactive Tempest—where actors don’t just perform for audiences, but guide them through Prospero’s enchanted isle. Seeking performers who thrive on:
Physical storytelling (puppetry, stylized movement, or dance backgrounds a plus)
Raw emotional range (from Caliban’s rage to Ariel’s ethereal mischief)

Special Notes:

  • Diverse casting; all ethnicities, genders, and abilities encouraged

  • Rehearsals incorporate collaborative discussions
