Auditions should consist of singing a prepared song and performing a cold read.

Furthermore, no karaoke tracks or CDs may be used. Accapella singing is discourage

ABOUT THE SHOW:
You have to keep your head in the game if you want to be the champion of the spelling bee. For this diverse group of teenage spellers, each presented word carries humorous, heart-wrenching and embarrassing stories of life at home. Keeping a clear head in the midst of these distractions can cause them to hear that soul-crushing “ding” of the bell – a spelling mistake. Only one can win, the rest get juice boxes. Light-hearted and funny, the TONY award winning show the 25th Annual Putman County Spelling Bee features audience participation – can you win the bee?
We all want to be Evelyn Frost – beautiful, young, hip, perfect. Or at least that’s what we are meant to believe from her online persona. Using only language from social media postings, Five Faces for Evelyn Frost will take you on a wild ride as five friends vie to increase their status through what they reveal on the internet’s most notorious and beloved websites. The show runs February 19-20 & 25-27
Auditions are November 22 & 23 at 7pm; Actors only need to attend one day. Auditions will consist of improv and a cold read; you do not need to prepare anything.
WARNING: The show does contain a good bit of adult content.

DramaTech offers classes through the School of Literature, Media and Culture.
LCC 2813 – This class teaches students how to integrate technology into a live theatrical event through a combination of directed reading and applied work on a Ferst Center event.
For the course, student will work with Office of the Arts artist Mark Gindick on his show Wingman. Wingman is a show about clowning in the modern age and integrates social media and other forms of technology into the performance. Mr. Gindick would like to streamline the technology in the show. The structure of the class would be to discuss the iterative process of theatre and the inclusion of technology in performance. Students will work individually to devise solutions for the technical challenges of the piece. The instructor and Mr. Gindick will select four projects to continue on to the team phase which has the goal of having a working model in place by the end of the semester. The working model will be included in a workshop production of Wingman as part of the Ferst Center Presents season in the Spring semester. For more about Wingman, visit http://vimeo.com/85880123.
Also check out our one credit hour courses in set construction, lighting, sound, costumes, marketing and acting! For more information, visit www.dramatech.org/classes.

Open House is DramaTech’s annual recruitment event for anyone interested in getting involved with DramaTech Theatre. The week is a great way to meet DramaTech members and get a feel for how the club puts on shows (in just one week!). Newbies can audition for experiments (small acts directed by DramaTech members) and then perform them on the DT stage on either Friday or Saturday. If acting isn’t your thing, then you can give our techies a hand in hanging the lights, running sound cables, and building the set for the show, along with all the other things that need to get done! All of the following amazing events take place at DramaTech Theatre. (On the right side of the Ferst Center if facing the ice cream cone)

About the show: Othello has just happily married Desdemona, but their joy cannot last long, thanks to Iago. Jealous for having been passed over for promotion in favor of the untested soldier, Michael Cassio, he will stop at nothing until he uses Desdemona to destroy the two men he hates. The show runs October 30-31, November 5-7 & 12-15 at 8pm.
Auditions are August 23 & 24 at 7pm. Actors only need to attend one day of auditions; Callbacks, if necessary, will be late on the 24th & 25th. Actors should come with a SHORT memorized Shakespearean monologue. Be ready to perform it in different ways as directed. If you do not have a prepared Shakespeare monologue, you can use a different monologue that you have memorized. As a last resort, a written Shakespeare monologue can be provided.*
*not recommended, as it will be the hardest for the actor
