Want to be in a Baron's Men show?

This coming October we will bring back a Baron’s Men favorite original play, Medieval Macabre, that was written by one of our sharers and first performed in 2009. In addition to mythology classics like Beowulf, the Banshee and werewolf, and classic scenes from Hamlet, Othello, Richard III, Mackers and Titus, the new Medieval Macabre will include scenes from several other “new” Elizabethan and Medieval plays (The Devil is an Ass, The Yorkshire Tragedy, The Masque of Queens, The Devil’s Charter, and Henry VI). This show promises to be a little darker than the first production.

Rehearsal Dates: Blocking & partial runs 8/6-9/2 with full cast rehearsals starting September 3rd, Performance Dates: Fri/Sat Oct 5,6; Fri/Sat Oct 12,13; Th/Fr/Sat Oct 18-20; and Th/Fr/Sat Oct 25-27. Strike Oct 28, Cast Party Nov 3.
Additional actor information: Almost every actor will be asked to play multiple parts (speaking, nonspeaking, foley, boo-scares). We’re also working on some songs, and original music created for the show. If you have any musical talent, we’d love to have you in the show and also help out with a song or music.
Auditions: Saturday, June 9th at the Daugherty Arts Center 10am to 2:30pm
To Schedule your audition: Contact Laura Tresize at producer@thebaronsmen.org.

About The Baron’s Men

The Baron’s Men is a small theater troupe dedicated to the research and performance of historical theater with our primary focus of the plays of the Elizabethan era. Since 1998, The Baron’s Men has been striving to prove that historical theater, performed using historical staging practices, is fun and relevant to modern audiences. The Baron’s Men is very fortunate to be allowed the use of The Curtain Theater, a replica Elizabethan theater, on the property of Mr. Richard Garriott in Austin, Texas.

The Baron’s Men is proudly sponsored by Austin Creative Alliance.

Twelfth Night has begun and our audiences are fabulous. They are joining in with us to cheer the hero, boo the villain, and laugh with the clowns. They are even joining in with the musicians during intermission. It’s so much fun for us to perform when our audiences play with us!
