CASTING CALL ANNOUNCEMENT - 7/3/2025
JOIN US THIS YEAR FOR THE 2025 SARASOTA MEDIEVAL FAIR! Auditions will be held on Saturday, Aug. 2 and Sunday, Aug. 3 from 10am - 2:30pm at the Woods of Mallaranny. We begin auditions promptly at 10am so please get there in time to fill out paperwork. No experience is necessary, just the desire to be a part of the cast that brings the Sarasota Medieval Fair to life. We offer you a unique opportunity to learn improvisation and audience interaction techniques, dialects, stage combat, and so much more! Because these are improv auditions, you do not need to prepare any materials ahead of time - simply be willing to listen, participate, and have fun! PLEASE NOTE: Everyone must attend the improv auditions from 10am-12:00pm. At noon we will take a short break for lunch and then reconvene at 12:30pm for the Chessmatch auditions. If you are not planning to audition for the Chessmatch, you are not obligated to stay for that portion. Costumes and weapons are not required. Please wear comfortable clothing and closed toe shoes. Bring a notebook and pen to take notes, a camp chair, towel, or blanket to sit on, and please bring water - it will be hot so stay hydrated!! Please bring a packed lunch as there is not time to drive to get something during the break. If you are under the age of 18, you must bring a parent or legal guardian with you. We hope to see you out there!
We're very excited for the upcoming festival and bringing new faces into the mix is important to us. We encourage you to come out and have a fun afternoon with us, because we guarantee you will not be disappointed. We know that this is very new to many, so leave your inhibitions at home and be ready to express your character! All ages are welcome, but children 15 and under must have a parent present at the time of auditioning.
