Those wishing to audition should prepare 30-90 seconds of a memorized monologue — or poem or short literary work for those who are not theater students — and provide a headshot and resume. No appointments are necessary; actors will be seen as they arrive. Email ksaine@shepherd.edu. Those interested in technical roles should email cmolden@shepherd.edu.
