Auditions

The Theatre Department invites ALL STUDENTS to Audition for the Fall 2023 faculty directed productions 

Friday, April 21st from 6 to 9 pm at Mahaney Arts Center, Room 232 

Greek Tragedy by Lia Romeo (THEA 0210A)

Directed by Michole Biancosino, performances on October 26-28, Wright Memorial Theatre

Anna is a famous and fabulous Instagram influencer. Jennifer is her drab best friend. But Jennifer is the one who’s been writing all of Anna’s content, while Anna spirals into addiction and out of control. And now Jennifer’s the one who’s writing this play. A story about telling stories… and about how to live our lives when we live our lives online. Cast will be anywhere from 7-15 people.

Polaroid Stories by Naomi Iizuka (THEA 0210B)

Directed by Alex Draper, performances on November 30-December 1, Seeler Studio Theatre

Naomi Iizuka describes her play Polaroid Stories as “a visceral blend of classical mythology and real life stories told by street kids.” 10 actors play characters ranging from Echo, Eurydice, Orpheus and Narcissus to Skinhead, Kaos, Melody and Disappear. “Iizuka journeys into a dangerous world where myth-making fulfills a fierce need for transcendence, where storytelling has the power to transform a reality in which character’s lives are continually threatened, devalued and erased. Like their mythic counterparts, these modern-day mortals are engulfed by needs that burn and consume. Their language mixes poetry and profanity imbuing the play with Lyricism and great theatrical force.” Cast: 10

Interested in getting involved in productions not as a performer? Stop by the Tech Info Table in the lobby outside

Interested in being part of a production but not as a performer? There’s more to theatre than what the audience sees! You can enroll in THEA 0210 A or B as a stage manager or assistant stage manager (requires permission from director), or enroll in THEA 0119 A and create lighting, scenery, and props. Student shows need designers, stage managers and  light and sound board operators.

Stop by the Tech Info Table in the MAC lobby outside MAC 232 during auditions or email rimmer@middlebury.edu for more information!
