Tech Theatre Company To Host Auditions Sept. 6-7

The Tech Theatre Company will hold auditions for their first two productions of the 2017-18 season during the first week of classes.

Auditions for “Fires in the Mirror” by Anna Devere Smith and “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” by Steve Martin will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 6 – 7 in the Walker Arts and Humanities Center. Participate are asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of auditions.

The auditions are open to anyone and include opportunities for students and community members.

“Picasso at the Lapin Agile” will run Oct. 12-14 and Oct. 18-20 in the McArdle Theatre in the Walker Fine Arts and Humanities Center. The comedic action takes place as major as well as imaginary figures of the 20th century sit down for a few drinks in a perspective shifting evening that makes it impossible to experience reality in the same way ever again. Auditions will take place in the McArdle Theatre. For more information, contact Christopher Plummer, or call 487-3282.

“Fires in the Mirror” will be performed Nov. 15, 16, and 30 and Dec. 2. in the McArdle Theatre. Auditions will take place in Walker 210, across from the McArdle. The play looks at the Crown Heights tragedy in Brooklyn during the summer of 1991. How can these things happen? A child is hit by a car while playing on the sidewalk. In retaliation, a young man is stabbed to death. A community turns inward upon itself, neighbor is set against neighbor. Can an out of balance world be set right?
