Every year during pledgeship we try to put on a complete show without any outside help. It's about developing talents within the group. In addition to the play, the theater department will also hold mainstage auditions for spring productions next week. Sign-up sheets for auditions are posted on the call boards in the theater department on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building. Auditioning for mainstage plays, which are directed by faculty, also enables students to audition for downstage plays, which are directed by students.
Auditions consist of cold readings from future scripts, and all students are welcome to audition.
However, they are required to sign a contract obligating them to participate in the technical aspects of the plays if they aren't chosen as actors. Students can also sign up for technical crews without auditioning. Downstage productions will be announced on the theater call boards at the end of next week. Every year advertising students raise funds to support a class that gives them an intensely professional experience. This Christmas, Ad Hoc, the student advertising organization, is giving itself something the University can't-an opportunity to win a global account for a major American Company.
