The following is general information regarding auditions and productions in the Theatre UAF Season - view season information here for information on the upcoming productions.
To Audition you should first fill out an audition information form (available on the "pocket" outside of the Theatre UAF Box Office door) or on-line here (a 38k file - small) (A pdf file which requires Adobe's free Acrobat Reader plug in to view) and return it (if the office is closed, please slide it under the door) to the UAF Theatre Department Office located in the Great Hall outside the Lee H. Salisbury Theatre.
You should also "sign-up" for a morning monologue time-slot (required of all shows) and for afternoon time slots for whichever shows you are interested in.
For the morning monologue you should choose two short pieces to perform - best would be contrasting styles (Example: one funny, one serious). For children or new actors, two short stories would be acceptable. Costumes are not necessary.
For the afternoon you will be doing "cold readings" (when the director asks you to read a selection from the script) and "scene work" (when the director asks you to read through a scene with another actor / auditioner) which may include movement and improvistation.
Remember to be on time for all your audition appointments!
On the SDA Board, by the sign up sheets (located to the left of the Great Hall near "Graffiti Hallway" / by the scene shop) there are tentative rehearsal and performance schedules for all the Shows. These calendars are also available on-line here Please consult it when answering questions on the Audition Information Form. While not all actors are called to all rehearsals - nevertheless the process is time consuming.
You should feel encouraged to look at the scripts which are available on reserve in the campus Library under course Theatre-101 (THR 101).
