Callbacks- Crimes of the Heart

Thank you for your wonderful auditions. We had 41 auditioners for 6 roles! So please know that if you’re not called back, it is definitely NOT a reflection of the quality of your audition. Those who are called back on Sunday at noon are listed below.

Called back auditioners should please go get a stapled packet of scenes, located outside the department of office doors on the black table. You may read and get familiar with all of the scenes, but you should focus on the scenes featuring your assigned character(s) No need to memorize, but definitely be very familiar with your scene(s). 

For your own comfort, wear loose fitting and comfy clothes. I will probably try to get the men’s auditions done first, but please everyone invest a couple of hours at least for these callbacks.

DOUBT opens tonight!!

Congratulations to the cast and crew!! Break legs!!

Technical Theatre 091

Please mark your calendars with this semester's 091 Technical Theatre dates!
091 is mandatory for all Technical Theatre majors, but is open to anyone working for us if they'd like feedback on their resume/portfolio or experience interviewing for a technical theatre job.

This semester, 091 will be meeting twice. The first date is a portfolio/CV/resume presentation from the technical theatre faculty - This is happening on Friday, October 16th at 4pm up in the tech classroom. This is your opportunity to see how professionals in the field have organized their experience into a package they can present to potential employers. (Tech majors need to attend this presentation at least once during their career here at RIC.)

The second meeting date is Friday, December 11th. Starting at 4pm, we will be holding individual appointments with everyone interested in signing up for one. At this appointment you will present your resume and current portfolio as if you were interviewing for a job. This meeting also allows us to give you feedback on your materials and your performance this semester and allows you to give us feedback as well and to let us know what you'd like to work on in the future here at RIC. A sign-up sheet for these appointments will be posted later this semester. (ALL technical theatre majors must come to an individual appointment to receive 091 credit for this semester, and you need an 091 credit for each semester in order to graduate!)

If you are a technical theatre major and you have not enrolled in 091 for this semester, please talk to Chris right away.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
~ Nicki
