COVID Requirements:
For Auditions: Audition time slots will be limited to small groups. All participants are expected to be vaccinated and will need to be verified upon casting by registering your status with the district. All participants must remain masked the entirety of the time they are on campus. Potential auditioners must be free of any COVID related symptoms at the time of their scheduled audition. Please email goug...@fhda.edu if you need to reschedule.
For Rehearsal/Performances: All participants must be appropriately boosted as per the requirements of the FHDA district at the time fall term begins and subsequently register their status with the district. Currently, the district still requires mask for all in-person on campus events—subject to change. In accordance with SC County guidelines and recommendations, at this time we anticipate rehearsing while masked, but performances will be unmasked.
Location and Parking at Auditions:
For auditions in the Lohman Theatre, we recommend parking in either Lot 1 (the first parking lot to the right on the campus loop) or Lot 8 (through the entrance fountain roundabout). The Lohman Theatre is located to the left of the entrance fountain as part of the Lower Campus Complex.
Contrary to the posted signage, currently, no parking permits are required, and therefore need not be purchased, to park on campus.
