Auditions look a little different this semester!
The School of Theatre & Dance is doing joint open auditions for EVERYBODY and MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP on Monday 8/26 and Tuesday 8/27. We're hoping to make this a community event that allows students to watch each other's auditions and support each other. Auditions will be held in the Little Theatre (CA 107) and the lab (CA 104). Feel free to bring a friend for moral support, even if they are not auditioning!
