Thank you all for auditioning! Everyone who came out this afternoon did a fantastic job! It’s a bit cliché to say, but it’s true casting is not a simple process. Unfortunately we only have so many roles in the show and so we had to make some hard decisions. There is still more opportunities to be involved; the tech meeting is Friday December 9th after school and play-in-a-day is December 29th and 30th.

If you have been cast our first rehearsal will be next Tuesday in the black box

If you have any questions about your audition please reach out to me! And again once more Thank you to everyone who auditioned .

What the show is about:

Nora Helmer is preparing for the holidays while her husband, Torvald, prepares to take on his new role as  Bank Manager. Nora is threatened by Nils Krogstad, an employee at the bank to convince Torvald to save his job or he will expose her crime of taking out a loan without a man’s signature.
