WSU Performing Arts invites students, staff, faculty and community members to audition for one or both of the plays it is producing this year, “Eurydice” by Sarah Ruhl and “She Kills Monsters” by Qui Nguyen. Auditions will be held, Oct. 4 and 5, 6 to 9 p.m. in Wadleigh Theatre at Daggy Hall.
Actors of all experience levels are welcome. No preparation is required and it is only necessary to attend one session.
Six performances of “Eurydice,” WSUPA’s annual Black Box Classic, are scheduled for Dec. 1, 3, 8, 9 and 10, 2016 and six performances of “She Kills Monsters” will take place March 31, April 1, 7, and 8, 2017.
In “Eurydice,” Sarah Ruhl reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. With contemporary characters and ingenious plot twists, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story.
“She Kills Monsters,” a comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games, tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and ’90s pop culture, acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
Both plays are presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
