upcoming theater and music concert auditions

Theater

The Seagull
Open auditions for our first production of the season! All currently enrolled students are welcome to try out.

Audition Dates and Location:
Sept 8, 6 PM – 9 PM
Sept 9, 6 PM – 8 PM
Black Box (Room 136)
Fine Arts Building
 
You will be notified about callbacks if they are needed and they will be held Tuesday, September 9. Please note that callbacks may not be necessary and not getting a callback does not mean you are not cast. 
 
What to expect: 

In the audition room will be Damon Bonetti (director) and possibly another person to read lines with you. Damon will ask you to read some sides and perhaps give some direction. Be present in the room and you’ll do great!  After all days of auditions are over, those cast will be emailed with their part. You must accept that part in order to be cast.

Once you are cast, the conflicts from your audition sheet are the only approved conflicts. Please talk to Damon if you have any questions about conflicts.
