Auditions for SSCC Theatre’s 'Hamlet' will be Aug. 29-30
SSCC Theatre will hold auditions for the fall production of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”
Open to community members and students, auditions will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, August 29, and at 10 a.m., Saturday, August 30, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro.
William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” is a gripping tale of revenge, madness, and political intrigue. When Prince Hamlet learns that his father was murdered by his own uncle—now the king—he spirals into a web of feigned insanity, existential doubt, and bloody retribution. Ghostly visitations, elaborate schemes, and a deadly duel all drive this tragic masterpiece toward its haunting conclusion.
Those interested in auditioning should prepare a dramatic one- to two-minute Shakespeare monologue and schedule an audition slot at https://www.sscctheatre.com/auditions.
Memorization of the monologue is recommended but not required. Those interested in working on available crew positions will be asked to complete an interview during the day of auditions and should also schedule an interview slot at the same link.
If interested in auditioning or working crew, but unavailable to attend either audition date, please contact Director Rainee Angles (rangles@sscc.edu) to schedule an alternate date prior to August 29, 2025.
“Hamlet” will be performed Nov. 7-9. For more information about available roles and rehearsal schedule, please visit www.sscctheatre.com.
