MORE INFO
Our Town and Anything Goes will hold joint auditions. Theatre and Dance majors who choose to audition for both shows must attend every callback to which they are called, and must accept any role in either show they are offered. Rehearsals for Our Town overlap with rehearsals for Anything Goes, so it is highly unlikely that you may perform in both shows.
Performers in Our Town will be eligible also to perform in Estrange, directed by David Kaye, whose auditions will be held in the fall.
You may choose to audition for Our Town, for Anything Goes, or for both shows. You must make your choice clear both on your audition form and at your audition. When you announce your name, announce also the show or shows for which you are auditioning.
Example: “My name is David Richman, and I am auditioning for Anything Goes only.”
Our Town is one of the great American plays. Edward Albee called it one of the saddest, toughest plays of the American theatre. The play is at times quite funny. It also probes the most difficult and disturbing questions of immensity, birth, marriage, and death. The production will be directed by David Richman, assisted by Rachel Vilandre.
Rehearsals for Our Town will start on the first day of the fall semester. Rehearsals will take place 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Friday. Performances run from Wednesday, October 2 through Sunday, October 6. There will be a morning matinee on Friday, October 4, and an afternoon matinee on Sunday, October 6. You will be required to attend all technical and dress rehearsals and all performances, and you will be required to attend all rehearsals to which you are called.
