Fall 2026​

Production

The Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company is seeking 12 West Michigan-based actors for its Fall 2026 production of As You Like It.

​

Director

Kat Hermes

 

Audition Format

An in-person audition will be held at the Dog Story Theater, 340 State Street SE in Grand Rapids on September 26 from 1-4 p.m..  This audition will consist of reading scenes with other auditionees.  Auditionees should plan to be present at the beginning of the audition time in order to received production orientation information as a group.

 

Prior to attending the in-person audition, actors must fill out the audition form HERE

 

On the form, there is a place available to submit a link to a video monologue if you would like to share a prepared Shakespeare monologue.  Sharing a video monologue is optional!  We offer this option because some actors like for the director to see prepared material along with the cold readings at the in-person audition.

 

Rehearsal and Performance Schedule

 AYLI will rehearse October 4-November 5, Sunday through Thursday evenings.  Rehearsals take place in a Grand Rapids location.  Performances will be November 6-8, 13-15, and 20-22.  Details about the performance venues will be available at the in-person audition.  Please keep in mind that we are a touring company, so we will also be scheduling load-ins at our performance venues.

 

Actor Stipend

This is a non-union call. Each actor will receive a $450 stipend for the production.

 

Actor Tracks

For all roles in the show, we will consider actors 18 and up of any race, gender, and ability. Our company frequently does cross-gender casting, and in the case of doubled roles, it is likely that actors will play some characters whose gender is different than their own.

 

Actor Tracks Coming Soon!
