Fall Play Audition Dates:
September 28 & 29  - 2:45-4pm - Black Box Theater
Roles:
10-14 speaking roles (6-10 female/4 male - flexible)
Additional non-speaking roles as monsters, etc.
To Audition:
Prepare a fully memorized 60-second monologue
(The story is set in 1995 and focuses on high school kids in Ohio, but most of the action takes place in a D&D fantasy world. It's ultimately a drama, but there's a lot of humor too. Pick audition material that shows your personality.)

Check the rehearsal calendar below.
Don't audition if you can't make this your top priority. 
We have a VERY short rehearsal schedule.
I need actors at all rehearsals, not excuses.

Bring a signed permission form with picture attached and list of ALL conflicts you have with our rehearsal schedule
Performance Dates: 
November 10-12 at 7 pm 

NVHS Courses: Theatre Arts 1 & Theatre Arts 2

The theatre program is proud to have available the English elective classes Theatre Arts 1 & 2. Throughout both semester long courses, students will perform small scenes, short monologues, and participate in fun improvisational activities, all the while learning basic conventions of theatre (i.e. history, clowning, commedia dell'arte, playwriting, set design, lighting, and costume design). We encourage students to speak with their NVHS guidance counselor on the possibility of enrolling in these unique courses.
Neuqua Valley Theatre is committed to bringing meaningful and impactful opportunities to students.
Students can follow us on our Twitter and Instagram social media sites to stay current of announcements.
