Dorset Event

The Dorset Players and director, Marisa Valent, will be holding auditions for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher. The director would like those who audition to prepare a 60-90 second dramatic monologue that shows emotional range. Sides will also be handed out at the audition for cold readings. Looking to cast 6 people to play 21 roles. Age ranges vary and traditionally cast with 2 Females and 4 Males. Auditions will be held on August 6 & 7 at 6PM upstairs at The United Church of Dorset and East Rupert at 143 Church St. in Dorset.

A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of depravity, lust, love and horror. On the fog-bound streets of Victorian-era London, Henry Jekyll’s experiments with exotic “powders and tinctures” have brought forth his other self—Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave. With multiple Hydes portrayed by members of the cast.

Performances will be held at The Dorset Playhouse at 104 Cheney Rd. Dorset on October 11-13 & 18-20, 2024. For more information please go to www.dorsetplayers.org or call the business office at 802-867-5570.
