Feb. 10-11: Auditions for CLC Theatre’s PLAY ON! Student Showcase

CLC students age 18 and older are invited to audition for the theatre department’s Play On! Student Showcase—The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon—on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 10 and 11 at 6:30 p.m.

Auditions will take place in the mainstage theatre of the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts (JLC) at the Grayslake Campus. Actors need only attend the Monday (2/10) or Tuesday (2/11) audition, not both. Actors should prepare a 90-second to two-minute memorized monologue from any comedic contemporary play and bring an acting resume, if you have one.

Callbacks will be Thursday (2/13), from 6:30-10 PM. If called back, actors should be available Thurs. (2/13), 6:30-10 PM. Rehearsals will begin the week of February 24, 2025. Rehearsals are Monday through Thursday evenings (with possible weekend rehearsals, based on cast availability) until Tech week: April 5-10, 2025. Performances are April 12-19.

Play On! is an annual celebration of student creativity, talent and achievement as they showcase their abilities as actors, directors, stage managers, designers and technicians. In this student showcase, the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are turned on their heads in this fast-paced, rollicking ride as several actors attempt to combine all 209 stories, including classics like Snow White, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel. This wild, free-form comedy is full of audience participation and madcap fun.

The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon performances are 7:30 p.m., Saturday, April 12; 2 p.m., Sunday, April 13 and 7:30 p.m. and Thursday-Saturday, April 17, 18 and 19 on the JLC mainstage. For information, contact Craig Rich at crich@clcillinois.edu.
