The HPU theater is seeking university students to help design, produce, and perform this full-length dramatic comedy that explores language, love, loss and the stories we struggle to preserve.

Those interested in the design, production and/or technical aspects of the show, do not need to "perform" at auditions however, we would like to meet you or a short interview to discuss your skills, aesthetic and area of interest.

For those interested in performing, all roles are open, with casting based on performance, interpretation, chemistry, and commitment rather than a predetermined type. Actors of all backgrounds, identities, and levels of experience are encouraged to audition. No preparation is necessary, sides will be provided and scripts are available upon request.

Auditions/Interviews
HPU Theater at Aloha Tower Marketplace
Thurs Sept 17th from 4:00pm-6pm
Fri Sept 18th from 12:00pm-2pm
*You do not have to stay the entire time and only need to attend one day.

Please contact Emily Steward ([email protected]) for more information!
