> MUSEUM TO HOLD AUDITIONS FOR BRAILLE READER’S THEATER PRODUCTION OF MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
> 
> The Museum of the American Printing House for the Blind will hold auditions for its Braille Readers Theater production of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, to be presented March 15-16, 2013.
> 
> Auditions will take place in the Museum reception room at 1839 Frankfort Avenue on Thursday, December 13, at 1 p.m., Friday, December 14, at 11:00 a.m., and Saturday, December 15, at 1 p.m.  A final audition will also be held next week, on Tuesday, December 18, at 1 p.m. 
> 
> Auditions will consist of cold readings, in braille, from the script. Individuals interested in taking part should plan to attend only one of the audition times.

> Much Ado About Nothing is perhaps Shakespeare’s most enduring romantic comedy—and surely the funniest.  The plot follows two pairs of lovers:  Benedick and Beatrice , who love each other but don’t want to admit it, and Claudio and Hero, who love each other but are tricked into an acrimonious parting. Add a nefarious villain, Don Juan, and a comic constable, Dogberry, to the mix, and complications abound. In wars of words, brimming with puns and witticisms, the mismatched lovers eventually sort themselves out, the villains are foiled, and everyone dances at the two weddings.
> This production follows last year’s very successful production of The Miracle Worker, also performed as readers theater.
> 
> Readers theater is often defined by what it doesn’t involve -- no memorizing, no props, no costumes, no sets. Instead, it is rather like a radio play, performed in front of a live audience. The actors use intonation and gestures appropriate for their characters and their characters’ words; the stage directions are also read by an actor.
> 
> The cast will meet for a read-through shortly after parts are assigned. Rehearsals will take place beginning in the middle of January.
