[Ian Diguilio]

Hello, everyone!

The semester is officially upon us, and there is A LOT happening!  I know this email is long, and I have tried to bullet point the important takeaways! 

First off, we will be having a Society Meet and Greet this Wednesday, 9/2, to get to know the new faces in the Stevens community.  
Meet and Greet, Wed 9/2 @ 2pm in Babbio 104
Also occurring on September 2nd, Debaun Performing Arts Center will be having auditions for its annual One Acts Festival!  The following information is from David Zimmerman and Carl Russell.

AUDITIONS for Stevens One Act Festival 2015


Would you like to audition for this year’s Stevens One Act Festival?

 

Wednesday, September 2, 2015 from 8-10pm

DeBaun Auditorium, Edwin A. Stevens Hall

 

No experience necessary! No appointment necessary!

Prepare to read sides from the one acts. Sides will be assigned at auditions.

This year's festival is entitled "Defying Expectations" and will include the following plays:

'Jimmy the Antichrist' by Keith J. Powell, and directed by Frank Riccobono
'If Men Played Cards as Women Do' by George S. Kaufman, and directed by Chris Diggins

Once the plays are cast, rehearsals will be scheduled with respect given to the actors' class commitments. Performances are on September 18th & 19th at 8 PM at the DeBaun Auditorium.

Any questions, email Carl Russell at crussell at stevens.edu

Looking forward, the club fair is next Wednesday 9/9 on Palmer Lawn!  Please sign-up or show up for a little while to meet new people and help recruit!

Also fast approaching are Arcadia auditions!  Auditions for Arcadia will be held on September 10th and 11th at 7pm in Debaun Auditiorium.  The following are directions for those who wish to audition from our Director Raymond:
Please prepare (memorize) a one minute monologue. The monologue can be classic or contemporary, be comedic or tragic, but most importantly please make sure the language is of a literary quality. The characters in Arcadia are well bred and well educated and the monologue you choose should reflect a character that can live in the world of Arcadia. The following is a list of suggested playwrights to choose from for audition pieces:



Tony Kushner, Henrick Ibsen, Edward Albee, John Patrick Shanley, Tracy Letts, Margaret Edson, Michael Frayne, Christopher Hampton, Peter Shaffer, Anton Chekhov or anything by Tom Stoppard other than Arcadia and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

ARCADIA AUDITIONS: Sept 10th and 11th @ 7pm in Debaun Auditorium

Since Ray has provided a long and specific list of playwrights to choose from for audition material, we are working with Debaun to make audition material readily available for you!  Within the next few days, I will send out another email letting you all know where you can find monologues to go through, so no one has to go crazy trying to find something!  For those wishing to walk in, sides will also be available for cold reading.
COMING SOON: Audition Material Library!
