Open auditions for Twelfth Night will be held on Tuesday, September 6, beginning at 7:30 pm in the Ida Green Theatre. Actors should bring a 1-2 minute monologue drawn from the works of William Shakespeare (preferably memorized, but this is not required). We welcome any interested parties; we encourage students interested in being involved, but not in performing, to come by the auditions and get in touch with the production staff. Callbacks will be held later this week.
