slots available until 9:00 p.m. Those interested in
auditioning should prepare two contemporary and
contrasting monologues, not to exceed four minutes in
combined length. Each person auditioning should bring
along six headshots and resumes.

Both sessions will be held at Avila University’s
Goppert Theatre, #11901 Wornall Rd. (just south of
