 MISSED THE AUDITIONS? WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR DESIGNERS AND MALE ACTORS FOR THE 2008 YPC COMPANY. CONTACT JODY HOVLAND AT (319) 887-1360 TO SET UP AN INTERVIEW/AUDITION. This summer training program for high school actors and designers is a great way to get professional theatre experience and have fun while you're doing it!  YPC offers two tracks, one for actors and one for designers/technicians. Actors meet Mondays through Thursdays, and designers/technicians meet Fridays and Saturdays-until both teams come together at the start of technical rehearsals. All participants receive an intensive, hands-on, five week experience in staging their own unique vision of this classic play. Special events include a potluck picnic, and attending the Shakespeare Festival professional productions of The Comedy of Errors and The Winter's Tale. Tuition: $450 for actors $275 for designers *Tuition is assistance is available. Contact Jody Hovland at (319) 887-1360 for more information.

I have an audition scheduled. NOW WHAT??? Things to remember for YPC auditions... 1) Bring a recent photo of yourself (it doesn't have to be professional quality, school pictures are fine!) 2) Arrive 15 minutes before your audition time to fill our an audition form and choose what you'll read (there will be copies of short speeches from the play available) 3) Your audition will be a "cold reading" of the speech - NO MEMORIZATION NECESSARY - this is an on-your-feet reading, trying to make clear of what your character is saying 4) You'll also have a few minutes to chat with YPC Director Mary Sullivan and one of the Riverside Theatre Artistic Directors - so you can get to know them and they can get to know you - in 2 minutes! 5) Have fun! Do you still have questions? Call RT Education Director Hillary Foster or ask one of your friends who have done YPC before - they have great answers! FYI: This will help! 2008 YPC
