Are auditions for UNCG Theatre Productions open?
Yes, any UNCG student may audition for the plays we produce as UNCG Theatre and the North Carolina Theatre for Young People. However, we do hold auditions for the entire Fall semester plays on the evening of the second day of classes. Auditions for the entire Spring semester occur in the previous November. This allows directors, actors, and designers the proper time for research and development and the potential re-scheduling of conflicts.
How is the UNCG Theatre season chosen?
The Play Selection Committee meets late fall to mid winter to develop a season that reflects different styles and periods of theatre, while considering a myriad of factors including: numbers of roles, opportunities for student designers, audience potential, budget requirements and limits, and serving the overall UNCG student body as well as our Department of Theatre student body. All students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to submit play titles for consideration (there are specific forms to be completed). The committee than evaluates these choices, presents a season recommendation to the entire faculty, which is subject to approval and/or adjustments.
