Shakespeare in Clark Park Open Call for PERICLES

Directed by Carly Bodnar & Choreographed by Kaitlin Chin

Shakespeare in Clark Park (SCP) is seeking community artists for our annual summer production. This year, we’re bringing PERICLES to West Philadelphia’s Clark Park in the summer of 2021. 

We’re looking for anyone ages 9+ who would like to be a part of one of Philadelphia’s most beloved summer traditions. This summer’s production of PERICLES will be an open-air circus adventure, and we want a Community Troupe who’s ready to learn juggling, tumbling and a little bit of Shakespeare.  You don’t need any theatre or circus experience to participate. If you’re interested in knowing more, fill out this google form to get on the Pericles Community Artist mailing list. We’ll keep you updated and let you know how you can apply to be in the show!

In the meantime, post a video of your own mini-circus. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #athomescp. 

SCP encourages people of all ages, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations to participate. Previous experience with Shakespeare is NOT required, however, a capacity for joy and a tolerance for the heat is.
