A WORLD CF IT OW Act l begins and the audience is miraculously transported to the future, the past, or some faraway place in the present. Privacy is stripped away and lust, power, greed, hate, love and humanity are artfully re- vealed. Talented actors and technicians join efforts to create a magical fantasy land . . . a play. Magical perhaps to the audi- ence, but not to the many dif- ferent people involved in pro- ducing a play. Their magic po- tion consists of hard work, determination, and skill. The audience's few hours of plea- sure in the result of many weeks planning and work. ln planning a theatrical sea- son, choosing the right play is vital. After the plays have been chosen, students must be selected to fill the various roles. This is done at open au- ditions - where all students, not just theater majors, are encouraged to audition.

Rehearsals generally last from three to four weeks, depending upon the show and the director.
