You walk into the audition room, the directors’ eyes seemingly watching your every move. Did one of them just yawn? Wait… what’s my line again? Before you can even open your mouth, one of them yells “NEXT!” Though this may be the idea many students have of auditioning for a play, don’t worry… EngPlay isn’t like that at all! Before we go on any further, let’s first answer the question “what is EngPlay?”. Well, it’s just as it sounds; every term the Engineering Society puts on a play consisting of between 8 and 20 engineering students. After weeks of preparation and set building, we put on three performances.
Interested, but nervous about auditioning? No need to worry, the directors are students just like you, and have been in your shoes before. We are simply looking for funny, committed actors who love putting on a show. Rehearsals will typically take place 2-3 times a week at times that work with the actors’ schedules. This isn’t boot camp, kids! Though EngPlay is a commitment, we’re here to have fun. Once we begin to approach the end of term show dates, crew will be needed to assist with sound, lighting, stage changes, etc – this is a great way to get involved with EngPlay if you’re not the acting type. Keep your eyes peeled for more information about EngPlay; there will be posters up during the first or second week of classes advertising auditions – we hope to see you there!
Even if acting isn’t for you, that’s okay with us as well! Come on out, bring some friends, and enjoy the show instead. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
