Open Casting Call for Shakespeare in Klingon Extras

The Washington Shakespeare Company (WSC) announces an open casting call for Klingon and Shakespeare extras to appear in our September 25, 2010 gala event “By Any Other Name: An Evening of Shakespeare in Klingon.”

We're looking for a handful of extras and are respectfully asking all interested aliens (and others) to get in costume and come to DuPont Circle on Saturday, September 18, 2010 from 4-6 p.m. We intend to select 2-4 extras. Those cast as extras will appear in our program “By Any Other Name: An Evening of Shakespeare in Klingon” and receive complimentary passes to our post-performance VIP after-party with special guest and legendary actor George Takei (Mr. Sulu), Marc Okrand (creator of the Klingon language), and Christopher Henley (WSC Artistic Director). Mr. Henley will select and cast all Klingon extras. Winners will be announced at 6 p.m., Saturday, September 18th in DuPont Circle. We encourage those auditioning to dress in appropriate Klingon costumes, but also invite others – whether in costume or not – to come watch this one-of-a-kind event and learn how an open casting call for extras works.
