Communication Studies and Theatre Arts

Auditions for the final performance at Stover Theatre will take place on:

Monday, March 12^th, from 3:30 to 5:30 and 7 to 9
Tuesday, March 13^th, from 3:30 to 5:30 and 7 to 9

You don’t need to attend every audition session, but you’re more than welcome to attend any and all that you care to.  You also don’t need to have anything prepared, as you will be asked to do some cold readings from the four plays that have been included in the one-act festival.  You’ll find descriptions of the plays below.  Finally, performances of the one-act play festival will take place on April 19 through April 22.

Success by Arthur Kopit
A successful writer speaks at a woman's book club about his latest book.  But success isn't all it is cracked up to be as Krum, the author, struggles to communicate to the crowd about his latest work.

Reverse Transcription by Tony Kushner
It is almost midnight in Abel's Hill cemetery and six playwrights have gathered to illegally bury their dead friend. Hesitant to proceed with the burial, they each begin to drink and to share a little too much.

Words, Words, Words by David Ives
A short comedy of three monkeys who endeavor to recreate Shakespeare’s classic work, Hamlet… Completely by chance. The conversation that ensues is just as ridiculous as the work they create.

Medea by Christopher Durang
            An award-winning stage actress decides to reclaim a much maligned female character.  Her attempt to do so yields hilarious results.

You need not have a prepared monologue, although you may perform one if you wish. You may be asked to read from scripts and/or improvise some acting and movement. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. You do not need to attend all audition sessions, unless you find it exciting to do so.
