Casting:
- Audition pieces should be 3 – 5 minutes, lighthearted comedies or dramadies. These can be monologues or scenes with a max. of 2-3 people. This program will not include musical theater selections.
- There will not be a set, there will not be props (unless simple accent pieces are provided by you), and there will not be costumes. Just you!
- The final selections of pieces will be determined by how they fit into the production (length and scope.) If your piece is not selected, we may ask you to do something else!
- Perhaps this is a chance to dust off an old role or look at something you never thought you would get a chance to perform! Get those creative juices flowing.
