The George Fox student community is welcome to audition for the university theatre’s winter musical, Godspell. General auditions will be on Monday, Oct. 25, from 7 to 10 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium.
Co-curricular students (anyone not a theatre major or minor) are instructed to prepare a 90-second monologue and one minute of a Broadway song of your choice. If you can’t find your own monologue, we will have monologues at the audition table for you to pick up and read (no need to memorize, or find your own, if you’d rather not). However, your song must be your choice.
If you are up for the challenge, bring your sheet music with you so our accompanist can play for you. Or, if that feels too scary, either bring recorded instrumental music that you can play on your phone, or sing it for us without accompaniment (a cappella). In short, if you want to audition we want you there!
Theatre majors and minors: Prepare a fully memorized and rehearsed 90-second monologue and one minute of a Broadway song of your choice for the general audition (bring sheet music to the audition).
All: Callbacks will feature cold readings, dance auditions and vocal work. Callbacks will be on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 26-27, from 7 to 10 p.m. in the same location.
The cast will include five women and five men. Go to this Google link to sign up for a five-minute time slot.

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a metal laser cutter? This machine can cut and engrave sheet metal; it even can cut square or round stock. Check out this video that shows some features of the Fablight metal laser cutter we have in the Maker Hub.
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (Yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
