All audition sessions will be at the Puueo Community Center just across the bridge from downtown Hilo. The actor playing Hamlet will need a head start on everyone else. For Hamlet, the director is looking for one man, approximately 30 years old. For the rest of the cast, 3 to 5 women and 15 to 20 men of all ages will be needed. No prepared monologues are required or expected. Actors should, however, be acquainted with the play and come prepared to read and move.
