The Tempest pits the desire for revenge against the demands of love . Tempted by spirits, teased by sprites, and tormented by a monster, a shipwrecked king and his party face the wrath of the betrayed conjurer, Prospero a man they marooned on the enchanted island years ago. But revenge yields to redemption in William Shakespeare’s final glorious gift to the world. Along the magically tempestuous journey, passions are unleashed, villainy is thwarted and a family is reunited in a comic and cathartic tale of romance and renewal.

Auditions: Women March
2018-02-10 16:00 - 18:00 | Center for the Arts, 304 Division Street, Northfield, MN, 55057, United States
Production: Women March on Washington by Christine Kallman
Director/Playwright: Christine Kallman
Audition Dates and times: Saturday, February 10 or Sunday, February 11, 4-6 p.m.
Audition Location: Northfield Arts Guild Downtown , 304 Division St.
Audition Requirements: Actors need not prepare anything in advance. You will be asked to read from the script, by yourself or with other actors. Some of the roles call for singing (solo and/or ensemble). If you like, you can prepare a very short song (1 minute or less), or the director will provide an easy song for you to sing. Scripts available for 24 hr perusal at The Guild office or available online here.
Summary of the Show: Women March on Washington is a full-length stage play based on the Women’s marches on Washington of 1913, 1978 and 2017, using historical and fictional characters. Bags packed, they head out across the country (and over decades) to the nation’s center of power. What will they bring? White gloves and a Bible? Heavy boots and the Pill? A pink hat? A hijab? The diverse travelers encounter suffragist Alice Paul, early civil rights leader Ida Wells-Barnett, 1970’s ERA proponents (and opponents), and women of today. Battling enormous obstacles, including their own doubts and disagreements, all arrive in Washington together, asking: “Whose march is it?” and “What are the stakes?”
Women March on Washington is a new play in development and will be presented script-in-hand. The rehearsal and reading of the script are invaluable parts in the process of the script revision and development.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
Rehearsal information: Rehearsals are scheduled to begin Monday April 2.

Veteran Site Artist and Director Stephan Koplowitz is producing The Northfield Experience, a site-specific, immersive performance event using the town of Northfield, MN as its canvas and inspiration. Audiences will experience a series of interlaced performances of theater, dance, visual installations, and digital media taking place at several locations throughout Northfield. This performance event is inspired by the history, architecture, and unique community of Northfield. Koplowitz is collaborating with St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges and the greater Northfield community where the spirit of history, industry, and scholarship thrive and will engage students, alumni, and professors from both colleges, in addition to members of specific Northfield institutions and businesses. The Northfield Experience will be a unique, one of a kind performance event and experience, not to be missed!
This is a progressive venue production. Most locations are within walking distance, but an ADA bus is available upon request.
The production begins at The Grand Event Center, 316 Washington Street, Northfield, MN.

Carleton and St. Olaf students may attend the 6pm Thursday night dress rehearsal for free with student id.
