Auditions for Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, Present Company, July 31 and August 1

Present Company Theatre is proud to announce auditions for this fall’s Shakespeare on the Farm production of Julius Caesar, directed by company member Joseph Garlock. Please note that the roles of Caesar and Antony have been cast.

Julius Caesar is Shakespeare’s classic political thriller of conspiracy and assassination and what comes next. Set in today’s political climate of assigning blame without foresight or solutions, it is at once a cautionary tale and a call to action.
