• Auditions are open to everyone (from freshmen to Take 5 scholars and graduate students).
• Want to Stage Manage or work backstage? Come to auditions too and sign up for a stage management interview.
• No prior theatrical experience is necessary!
• The location for all auditions is Todd Theatre Lobby (in Todd Union) on River Campus.
• Get cast (or stage manage) and get credit! (All productions are worth a minimum of 4 credits).
• Want to have a better shot at being cast? Read the play before auditioning! (Copies are available on reserve at Rush Rhees Library and from the Theatre Program office in Todd Union, Room 107).
• Haven't got an audition piece or a monologue? Just show up at auditions and you'll still be eligible to be cast (though it always helps to prepare!)
