CALLBACKS FOR FESTIVAL OF NEW PLAYS

Thank you to everyone who auditioned for the Festival of New Plays and Almost, Maine. Please know that casting is incredibly difficult. If you were not called back, please don't be discouraged; there are a lot of variables that go into this process.

If your name is listed below, please go to the Black Box Theatre on the northwest corner of the AH Building at 6:00 on Monday, February 1. Enter through the backdoor. Callbacks for all seven shows will happen at the same time, so your patience is appreciated. Be prepared to attend from 6 - 10; if you have to leave early or arrive late for any reason, please email Katie Rodda at krodda@sdccd.edu before Monday night.

You may be cast in both Almost, Maine and the Festival. You may also be cast in more than one piece in the Festival. If you are called back for both and do not wish to be cast in both, please let Katie know on Monday night. It is ultimately up to the directors to make final casting decisions.

Thank you. (And apologies for misspellings ...)
