COLD READING: You will be given sides/scenes from the show and partnered with other individuals. You will then have some time to go over them with your partner prior to your audition.
No prior knowledge of the play is necessary, however, it is encouraged to familiarize yourself with the script if possible.
Those interested in auditioning must sign up in the Visual and Performing Arts department. Auditions will be held in the Cultural Arts Theatre.
Upon arrival, please enter through the Visual and Performing Arts department (near Rm. 7100 Black Box Studio) and head down the stairs to the backstage area of the Cultural Arts Theatre.
Please see the attached map of campus for directions to the Visual and Performing Arts department.
This is where you can sign up to audition and it is also the entrance that takes you to the pathway to the greenroom and the backstage area to the theatre.
Each audition night will be limited to 30 people. (However, overloads will certainly be considered)
You must be available to rehearse from the final week of September through the end of the production on November 18th.
You will have the opportunity to describe your schedule and availability for consideration, as every actor may not be needed to attend every single rehearsal night depending on the character.
The production runs:
Thursday, November 21st – Saturday, November 23rd, 2024
Please sign up in the Visual and Performing Arts department
(In front of Rm. 7100 – Black Box Studio) if you wish to audition.

Candidates are considered for all roles.

About THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
COMIC GOLD!
Variety
The time is right to see THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, Broadway’s funniest smash hit! This Olivier Award-winning comedy is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s “A RIOTOUS EXPLOSION OF COMEDY!” (The Daily Beast) and “TONS OF FUN FOR ALL AGES!” (HuffPost). Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG “A GUT-BUSTING HIT,” and Cindy Adams of the New York Post has just one word for you: “GO!” Get tickets now – it would be WRONG to wait!
NOTHING IS AS FALL-DOWN FUNNY! -Cindy Adams, New York Post
