There is no need to prepare material in advance for these auditions. Students will be given a prompt before the audition and asked to create a brief response to the material as their audition piece.

Plays will rehearse 3 times per week, with an expected increase in rehearsals the week before performances. Because the festival is virtual, students anywhere in the world are encouraged to audition! Feel free to reach out to Noah Hazzard (nhazzard@tulane.edu) with any questions.
