Come audition for our summer production of Richard III!

The first two weekends in Longfellow Park, near Harvard Square, August 10/11 and 17/18

The second two weekends in Raymond Park, near Porter Square,  August 24/25 and 31/Sept. 1

Rehearsals will also be primarily outdoors in the parks.  Some rehearsals will be in Arlington. 


The show will have a punk rock Elizabethan flair! We also envision the cast for this

production as primarily female or female presenting. Anyone comfortable with this

vision is encouraged to audition.

Note: This stipend is lower than the typical stipend from Dream Role Players.  We hope to increase the amount later but for now, we can only promise $75.
