Montford Park Players Announces
Auditions for Henry VIII

Asheville, NC – The Montford Park Players, North Carolina's Longest Running Shakespeare Festival, brings a summer of power, intrigue and passion to the stage as it continues its 36th season with the rarely-performed Henry VIII, July 11 through 20. King Henry's determination to divorce the barren Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn and produce an heir to the English throne forces a political struggle with the Pope, culminating in the dissolution of the English Church from Rome. Henry VIII is presented as a part of the Stripped-Down Shakespeare Series.

Auditions for Henry VIII will be held as follows:
Saturday, May 3: 11 am - 6 pm at the Montford Community Center, 34 Pearson Drive
Sunday, May 4: 1 pm - 6 pm at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre

All productions are free to the public, and donations are welcome. Performances take place on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre, beginning at 7:30 pm. For more information call (828) 254-5146
