Thank you to all who auditioned. I can honestly say, this was one of the strongest groups I've seen come out for New Works. The department is so rich with talent. For those who did not get cast, I know how disappointing this moment may be for you. Please do not take it as a judgment of your talent. Every single person who auditioned displayed great talent. And I feel genuinely lucky to have had the chance to work with you these past days. Sometimes, it doesn't work out, but I urge you to keep following your passions; there are always more opportunities out there. 

For those cast, I'll see you at first rehearsal shortly:

TH 10/13 3:45p - 5:30p

Thanks for all the hard, dedicated, and enthusiastic work during this audition process so far!

NW19 - Part 4 Available

As previously stated, please have read all parts prior to auditions! And remember that these are all drafts - not final. Changes will occur throughout the process.

NW19 - Date Error on Audition Packet

There was a typo on the Audition Packet issued yesterday, 10/1/22. 

On one page, it listed FIRST MEETING as 10/3 instead of the correct date, which is 10/13.

The packet HERE has been corrected.

NW19: Writer Announcement and Festival Adjustments

The format of the festival will be slightly different than previously announced. But the concept is the same.
