Shelton-based troupe seeking host families for actors

SHELTON - Valley Shakespeare Festival is looking for families to host our out-of-town actors during the three weeks they are in town for our 2015 summer production of ”A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”  

Our performers are chosen through professional audition processes in New York City and Shelton, and come to us from all over Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, as well as other locales. 

Here are the particulars:

Actors require a private bedroom and bathroom (preferably private, as well), clean linens (sheets and towels), small spaces in your cupboard and refrigerator to store their own food.

Duration of stay will be from June 21 (evening ) through July 13 (morning).

Actors generally rehearse Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.   

Host families need NOT provide food or transportation to actors (unless this is something with which they would like to assist)

This is a great opportunity to get an intimate, backstage look at the production as it develops through your association with the actors as they come to know their characters and their roles in the production. 

Any family interested in hosting a performer for Valley Shakespeare Festival’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream should visit www.vsfestival.org or call 203-513-9446 for more information and application.
