Auditions and Technical Interviews

All students who participate in a University Theatre Production will be enrolled in THEA 208 (performers and stage managers) or in ENTC 208 (technicians and designers).  The courses are variable credit, and the student's credit load will be determined by their assigned position on the production. 

MU Theatre is committed to inclusive casting practices. Performers of any ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, and experience level are welcome and encouraged to audition. Auditions are open to all MU students.

Show SyNOPSIS:

Late aged siblings Vanya and Sonia live out a simple, if not monotonous life in rural Pennsylvania, until their movie-star sister Masha returns to the family home, with her new, much younger boyfriend Spike in tow. Meddling housekeepers, unexpected neighbors and premonitions of a mysterious entity known only as “Hootie Pie” lead to an evening of sibling rivalry, jealousy and existential crises, with the family’s very way of life hanging in the balance.
