The Gazebo Players of Medfield, a non-profit community based theater organization located in Medfield, Massachusetts, will hold open auditions for their 23rd summer "Shakespeare in the Park" production: William Shakespeare's Richard III. Auditions will be held on Monday, May 12th and Tuesday, May 13th at the T.A. Blake Middle School Auditorium, Pound St., Medfield, at 7:00 PM.
Richard III will be performed on three consecutive weekends: July 19th-20th at the Bellforge Arts Center in Medfield, July 26th-27th at the Paul Revere Heritage Site in Canton, and August 2nd-3rd at the Music Court in Bird Park, Walpole.
