Description:

First Folio Theatre is accepting submissions for its summer acting internship for the 2018 world premiere musical SHREW'D, based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" and directed by Johanna McKenzie Miller. The show is set in a 1930's Chicago jazz nightclub and will include original songs by Christopher Kriz, Lydia Hiller, and David Rice. There will be a cast of 10 characters and a chorus of 7-8.

All rehearsals and performances will be at our theater in Oak Brook, IL.
