180A - PERFORMANCE

Audition
Auditions are typically announced in the quarter prior to the performance.  Information can be found on the Theatre and Dance website where details about the production and the audition requirements can be found.  Sign up for an audition appointment on the form on the website for a chance at a role in either Theatre or Dance productions!  Casting is typically completed in the same week as the auditions are held.  Then the fun really begins! 
Rehearsal
Rehearsals start with safety and theatrical intimacy training for the cast and stage management teams.  Your full participation is required in the six-week span available to bring a show to performance.  Typical rehearsal times are 6-10p Monday through Friday with a 6 hour slot on Saturday. Not all roles will require full participation in nightly rehearsals.  While some academic and personal conflicts can be accommodated (make note of these conflicts at auditions so the director can work with your schedule), please make every effort to make yourself available for the complete rehearsal schedule, including technical rehearsals in the week prior to opening.  
Performance
Performances are typically held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings with a 7pm curtain, though a matinee may be scheduled on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Performances can be just one weekend or may be two weekends (this is made clear at auditions and on your rehearsal schedule)  Your ‘call’ as a performer is one hour before curtain or whatever time you need to prepare for your role, though the space is open and available to you as much as two hours prior to curtain.  Sign in on the ‘callboard’ found between the green room (Wright 102) and the backstage entrance, head to your dressing room, and become the character you’ve worked hard to create!

David Adam Moore is a highly sought-after leading baritone by major opera houses and orchestras worldwide, including the Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Teatro alla Scala, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Salzburg Festival, and Carnegie Hall. Also notable for his work as a projection designer, composer, digital media artist, and stage director, Moore recently made his Lyric Opera of Chicago stage design debut as projection designer for a new production of Faust, in which he collaborated with renowned sculptor/animator John Frame and stage/film designer Vita Tzykun. Working in partnership with Tzykun, he is a founding member of GLMMR–an NYC-based interdisciplinary art collective that works in a variety of artistic fields.
Victoria “Vita” Tzykun [tsee-‘koon] is a Ukrainian-Israeli-American artist from Odessa. She has designed for companies such as Lyric Opera of Chicago, Santa Fe Opera, Norwegian Opera, The Bolshoi Theater, LA Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Seattle Opera, Minnesota Opera, Opera Philadelphia, and Wexford Opera Festival (Ireland), among others. 
Her numerous film and TV credits include design and art direction for Lady Gaga, production design for several award-winning films, and commercials for leading brands such as PBS, DirectTV, Axe, Bulova, and Qualcomm.
