Only 15 people will be chosen for the workshop that will take place over six courses on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and three evening classes. McKay, an EMU alum from the early 90s, will be looking for someone who think s quick on their feet, Cardell said. He specifically said he wants people to come dressed to move. The auditions will focus on doing improv games and sketch comedy, said Callie McKee, president of EMU Players. Anyway, she said.
People just get up there and do comedy.
Cardell said that the strike is making it difficult to spread the word about the auditions. Auditions are usually announced by professors to their classes, she said. We re hoping that people see the flyers and now what s going on. The theater department is also hosting a welcome back picnic today on the back lawn of Quirk from 4-6 p.m. If anyone is even remotely interested in the theater communications department, they should come to this event, McKee said. There will be free food and games and the EMU Players will give guided tours.
