I would like to be Mercutio in the queen mab scene, if that isn't taken.

[Izzy Ballard]

I would like to do Act 3, scene 5 with Lady Capulet and Juliet (lines 64-125)

[jschwartz]

I dont really care what part I end up getting but I will take the first scene (Gregory and Sampson) if Evan does not do that if not I will take a part of the balcony theme (either side) or one of the scenes with Lord Capulet.

[jesse kahn]

I would like to do something with either Friar Lawrence or Mercutio, preferably Mercutio but if there are no available scenes with him i'll do any open scene with friar lawrence.
