William Shakespeare’s A Comedy of Errors: Jazz and Pizazz!

This comedic masterpiece may not have invented the theatrical convention of mistaken identity with its resulting confusion and chaos, but it certainly perfected it by centering the action on two sets of identical twins. This production adds a 1920’s setting and pops the cork on jazz-age Cole Porter tunes to heighten the fun. This original adaptation has been created without losing Shakespeare’s comedic dialogue yet welcomes both actors and musical theatre performers. Lead by a team of professional theatre creatives, sessions in period style, dance and song, text, voice, and physical theatre are set within a production process that celebrates commitment, positivity, and inclusion. Actors must be able to attend all rehearsals and performances. Audition preparation is not necessary as auditions will be done as part of the first days of the program with a speaking role guaranteed with registration.
