Upcoming Auditions
All in the Timing by David Ives
This critically acclaimed, award-winning evening of short comedies combines wit, intellect, satire, and just plain fun.
This production is co-directed by Kait Boers and Lindsey Gram, senior theatre minors.
Auditions will take place on Friday, October 11 from 6-8pm and Saturday, October 12 from 2-4pm in the Gezon Auditorium.
AUDITION INFORMATION
For this audition, a prepared monologue performance is optional. Choosing to present a monologue or not will not affect casting. This is simply an alternate way to put your best foot forward and display your acting strengths. If you would like to prepare a monologue, please prepare a 30-60 second contemporary monologue and sign up for TWO audition slots: one for your monologue and one for the group auditions.
If you are not interested in presenting a monologue, please sign up for the group audition slot. During the group audition, you’ll read from the script and play theater games!
Callbacks will be by request only, and will take place on October 12 if needed.

Summary: The world’s best-selling crime novel of all time comes to life! Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island--the only thing they have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, they are brutally murdered one by one in accordance with a sinister nursery rhyme. One of Christie’s darkest tales and a masterpiece of dramatic construction, its growing sense of dread and unfaltering tension will keep you guessing until the very end.
