EastLine Theatre is excited to announce auditions for The Two Gentlemen of Verona, our annual touring summer Shakespeare, adapted and directed by Jess Reed.
❧ Shakespeare returns to Verona! This time with Valentine and Proteus, who are best friends until they fall in love with the same person. Hijinks of course ensue because one has already sworn their love to another. Filled with love, betrayal, slapstick, some zany servants, a band of outlaws, and a dog, this comedic tale will have you laughing from beginning to end.

79 E Main Street, on
