Wiley and the Hairy Man
The
University Theatre will be holding auditions Monday, October 22, at
6:30 p.m. in the Seay Theatre for the short play, “Wiley and
the Hairy Man.” The play is set in the woods and swamps of
central and southern Arkansas. The Theatre is seeking performers who
are outgoing, energetic, and flexible who enjoy improvisation and creative
expression. While the play only features roles for six performers, students
who can play the acoustic guitar, banjo, dulcimer, harmonica, mandolin,
and other musical instruments are also needed.
To audition for the play, students should prepare
a one-minute memorized anecdote, story, or narrative joke to recite
at auditions. They should also wear clothes that allow flexibility so
that they are able to move about while prerforming. Also, readings from
the script will be part of the audition. Scripts are available from
Dr. Pat Farmer who can be reached at Walton #171, by calling Ext. 1341,
or via E-mail pafarmer@ozarks.edu.
