COLUMBUS – The Department of Theatre at Mississippi University for Women will hold auditions for its spring show, These Shining Lives by Melanie Marnich, on Tuesday, Jan. 20, at 6 p.m.
Auditions are open to W faculty, staff and students, as well as members of the community. Interested performers should prepare a monologue. Information packets with audition details are available in Cromwell Communications Center, Room 182, where a sign-up sheet also is posted.
Anyone planning to audition is encouraged to pick up a packet before the university closes for Christmas break on Dec. 19. “This will give them time to perfect their auditions and be amply prepared,” said Kathy Newman, associate professor of theatre.
Performances are scheduled for April 9–11. The play tells the story of four young women at the Radium Dial Company, who face the devastating effects of radium poisoning and fight for workers’ rights. Themes include friendship, female empowerment, corporate negligence and resilience.
Questions can be directed to Newman at [email protected].
