Auditions are Sunday, January 27 from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. in 114 Theatre Building. You must email Austin Eyer (jae252@psu.edu) to set up your audition time.
For the audition, please prepare a short original piece of your work (this can be an original song, poem, sketch, dance piece, stand up routine...etc...). If you do not have an original work to present, then please bring in a short song that shows us something unique about yourself. If you play a musical instrument please incorporate this into your audition. Please bring a second song, in any genre of music (original or not), in case we would like to hear something else. Please bring your own accompaniment, karaoke track or sing a capella. You will then be asked to come back later in the day for a workshop, where you will be split into groups and given prompts to quickly create a sketch.
