Calling all thespians! General auditions for A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be this Tuesday, Aug. 29, from 7 to 10 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium. We will host the first call-back the following evening, Wednesday, from 7 to 10 p.m. and a second call-back on Friday, Sept. 1, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. in the same location.

What to prepare
For the general audition (Tuesday), please prepare a 90-second comedic monologue from a classical play (preferably Shakespearean). Your monologue should be fully memorized and well rehearsed. Be prepared to work with the director one-on-one after you have performed your monologue.

Sign-up Sheet
In order to secure your audition slot, please sign up on the audition sign-up sheet on the theatre audition board in Lemmons Hall. Students who are not theatre majors/minors are more than welcome to audition. You will not need to prepare a 90-second monologue, but you will need to read/perform a short Shakespearean monologue for the director. Come early, grab a monologue from the audition table, and take a little time to practice before your audition time slot.

Call-backs will feature movement work and cold readings from the text. Also, if you sing or play an instrument, please come ready to share your talents with us.

Show Dates
Oct. 19-21 and Oct. 26-28 at 7:30 p.m., as well as Oct. 29 at 2 p.m.

Rehearsals
In general, rehearsals take place between 7 and 11 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Director Rhett Luedtke will work around your evening conflicts, but you should do what you can to limit those conflicts as much as possible.

Questions?
Please email Rhett at rluedtke@georgefox.edu.

Let’s have fun!

Students and employees: With the influx of new and returning students arriving this week, it is critical that students already on campus start parking immediately in their assigned lots. This is especially critical in the lot behind Canyon Commons, as deliveries are being hampered by illegally parked student cars blocking loading ramps.

Commuters can park in the Bauman or Le Shana lot until the completion of the 99W lot later this week. Resident East students need to park in the red or red-striped areas (Le Shana lot) only, and Resident West students need to park in the solid blue areas only. Likewise, graduate students need to park in the green areas around the Roberts Center. The only exceptions for these next few days are the Austin (purple) and Morse (orange) lots, which are nearing completion. If you have a Morse or Austin lot permit, please begin parking in the lots as soon as they are completed.

Employees working in the Stevens Center: Please begin parking in the staff lots west of the Stevens building, as the Pennington lot and that block of Sheridan Street fronting the Pennington lot are now for residential students only. And on Thursday and Friday, all staff should park in the 99W lot or the Bauman lot in order to welcome our new students!

Here is a link to the parking brochure. Questions? Contact Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu.

The city’s public works maintenance crews will be conducting a smoke test of the sewer lines that serve the Newberg campus Aug. 22-25. The smoke is a non-toxic gas that will escape the sewer system through house and building vents.

Any smoke seen coming from a drain or fixture inside your house or building should be reported immediately to the city by calling 503-537-1234. Smoke coming from roof vents do not need to be reported to the city.
