The University of North Florida’s Department of English will hold auditions for its April production of “The Taming of the Shrew,” Shakespeare’s classic comedy about the battle of the sexes.

Auditions are open to members of the University and Jacksonville communities. There are roles for 15 males and eight females, all ages and races. There are some singing roles and a role for a male actor age 30 to 40, who can also play the guitar.

Auditions will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 13, and Thursday, Jan. 14, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.; and Saturday, Jan. 16, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. On Saturday there will also be singing auditions. All auditions are in the Robinson Theater on the UNF campus. Parking is available behind the UNF Fine Arts Center.

A short, one- to two-minute prepared monologue is suggested. Vocalists should bring their own CD accompaniment or sing a cappella.
