Necessary Targets (opening October 24)

A Year with Frog And Toad (opening November 20)

What should you prepare?
We recommend that you memorize and stage a serious contemporary sixty (60) second monologue and a song (sixteen bars). For those who are new to the process we will have monologues available for cold readings. (This option is not recommended for theatre majors, minors or scholarship recipients.)
How do you sign up for auditions?
In the fall there will be a sign up sheet on the callboard in the basement of Blank Performing Arts Center. Sign up for an audition time when you return to campus.
When are auditions?
TUESDAY, AUGUST 26 between 6:00-9:00 p.m.
Callbacks are August 27 and 28, time TBA.
What should you wear?
Think of the audition as an interview and dress appropriately. You do want to make sure you are wearing something you are comfortable in which allows you to move during the audition.
Where will you audition?
The auditions will take place in Pote Theatre. There will be a chair available for you to use if you need it. You will fill out an audition form in the lobby of the theatre and then the stage manager will tell you when to enter the theatre. Arrive at least fifteen minutes before your audition time. (Make sure you bring your schedule with you because you will be asked to include your schedule on the audition form.)
What will happen at the audition?
When you come into Pote you will need to introduce yourself and your monologue and song. After you complete your audition we may have some questions for you.
