Auditions for MTU theatre productions to be Sept. 8, 9, 10

HOUGHTON -- Auditions for Michigan Tech's two fall theatre productions will be held at 7 p. m. on Sept. 8, 9 and 10, in McArdle Theatre, second floor, Walker. Those interested in auditioning for either production (or both) may do so on any of the three evenings.

The Bald Soprano and The Lesson, two one-act plays by Eugene Ionesco, will be performed on Oct. 15-16 and Oct. 22-24. The style of both is absurd, expressionistic and existential. This is a "high concept" production in need of a strong ensemble of energetic actors.

Vaster than Empires is Michigan Tech's annual vocal and sound extravaganza. It features sound design and technology, with actors' voices altered in interesting ways. This year's offering is a collection of stories by Ursula Le Guin, including both science fiction and fantasy pieces. Production dates are Nov. 12-14.

No preparation is necessary. Those auditioning need to wear comfortable clothing and be ready to take part in improvisational activities, as well as reading from the script(s). Scripts are available for overnight perusal in the Visual and Performing Arts office, 209 Walker.

No experience is necessary to audition for these productions. Auditions are open to college students and community members.
