Fwd: [MITG&SP Savoyards] MITG&SP: 1776 Auditions Next Week

[Tom Ostrowski]

Hi All!

I hope you're all well!  

I have signed on to Co-vocal direct MIT's production of 1776!  I wanted to invite anyone who is interested and remembers my 1776 obsession (or doesn't) to come audition for this show which will be going up August 12, 13, 14th and will be performed on the MIT Campus.

PDR's 1 & 2 is actually one room and it is in the Stratton Student Center at 84 Massachusetts Ave in Cambridge.  Auditions are May 24, 25, and 26th and the show is already creating alot of buzz around campus.

I hope you consider coming out to audition.  Principle and chorus roles are all open and FYI there is a policy that MIT students capable of a part will be given preference but there are many non-MIT students in the cast and production staff.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks,

Tom O.
