Thank you so much to all who auditioned this week! Simply put it was amazing to see all of the talent that the Loft Stage has! Please know that casting is one of the hardest parts of the process for me as a director. Especially since I can only have twelve folks in the cast. I encourage anyone who was not cast to join us on Friday for the tech meeting. If you are cast we start tomorrow at 3:30 in the black box!

Before auditioning, please take a moment to fill out the online registration form HERE.

Students will be asked to perform a monologue at auditions. Actors do not have to be confined to the monologues chosen or even the script. If they have another monologue they would like to show us that is fine. Memorization is not required.

Audition monologues can be found HERE.

Students may peruse the entire play script HERE.

Please e-mail director Leah Jensen (ljensen@theloftstage.org) with any one act questions.
