We will be hosting auditions Wednesday Sept 9 and Thursday Sept 10, from 4:30PM until 9:30PM! Auditions will take place in the Theatre of the Arts (located in Modern Languages). Prepare a Shakespearean monologue (and maybe a song!) and be sure to sign up for your slot with the link in our bio. Open to all University of Waterloo students!
 
Each auditioner will have approximately fifteen minutes for their audition. The director, Tim Welham, will watch your monologue, offer some direction, and see how well you respond. Please read the play before your audition.  Copies of the play can be obtained from Janelle ([email protected]).
 
💡Always read the play before your audition!
