Open auditions announced for spring production
Mississippi University for Women’s Department of Theatre invites students, staff, faculty and community members to audition for “Still Life with Iris” by Steven Dietz.
Described as a fantastical magical adventure centered on a young girl’s search for home, auditions will be from 6-9 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1, in the Cromwell Black Box Theatre at 620 10th Street South. Callbacks will be at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 2. The production dates are set for Friday, April 14, and Saturday, April 15.
“The W Theatre’s spring show is a fun, family-friendly show, with an incredible heart-warming message,” said Kathy Newman, assistant professor of theatre. “Step into the lives of magical characters in the land of Nocturno — a fantastical place where the workers make, by night, what we see in the world by day. Where memories do not reside in people’s minds but in their ‘Past-Coats’.”
If you would like to secure an audition time, contact Newman at knewman1@muw.edu. Participants are asked to prepare a one-minute monologue from a contemporary play.
