2024-25 Auditions
Fall Mainstage - The Outsider by Paul Slade Smith
Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for... the worst candidate to ever run for office. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.
A sharp and timely play that takes a hilarious look at what happens when an unlikely candidate is thrust into the spotlight! With all the twists and turns, you won’t want to miss a moment!
Directed by Tom Kaechele

Winter Lab Theater - boom by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb
A grad student’s online personal ad lures a mysterious journalism student to his subterranean research lab under the pretense of an evening of “no strings attached fun". But when a major global catastrophic event strikes the planet, their date takes on evolutionary significance and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Will they survive? What about the fish in the tank? And who is that woman pulling levers and playing the timpani? An epic and intimate comedy that spans over billions of years, *boom* explores the influences of fate versus randomness in the course of one’s life, and life as we know it on the planet.
An epic, intimate comedy about a date, a fish tank, and the possible end of humanity.
