The Sautee Nacoochee Center announces an open call for performers, designers, technicians, and artists of all ages and backgrounds to join in the June production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
According to SNC’s Marketing and Development Coordinator, Jennie Inglis, talent inventories will be held this month to assess the interests and skills of those interested in participating.
The first session will be held on March 15 from 12 to 2 p.m. in the Center Theatre at 283 GA-255, Sautee Nacoochee, GA. The second talent inventory is from 2 to 4 p.m. on March 29 in the Sautee Nacoochee Center Community Hall.
A place for you
Whether you’re interested in performing on stage or assisting behind the scenes, Inglis says there’s a place for you in this production.
The talent inventories will offer a taste of the creative process, featuring activities such as games, movement, acting, singing, organizing, and even constructing sets and environments. Inglis says that everyone who is eager to participate and can commit their time will find a role that suits their talents and interests.
The June production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will serve as the centerpiece of the inaugural SOLfest – Sautee Outdoors Live Festival, a groundbreaking celebration of performance, creativity, and intergenerational collaboration. This festival will invite community members from all walks of life to contribute to a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience that honors Sautee Nacoochee’s rich history of performance and creativity.
A unique production
This immersive, community-driven festival promises to be a unique production. The play will be staged in various locations across the Sautee Nacoochee Center campus, moving with each scene to create an engaging environment for both performers and the audience. Throughout the process, participants will be able to learn from internationally recognized artists, working alongside professionals in a space that fosters creativity and artistic growth.
The June performances of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will also mark a milestone for the Sautee Nacoochee Center, celebrating the 35th anniversary of its performing arts program. The festival will pay homage to the center’s first production in 1990, bringing a fresh reimagining of this classic play to life.
Rehearsals and production
Rehearsals will begin in late April and continue through June, with performances scheduled for June 20-22, 2025.
