You know… Roone is technically on Broadway…

We’re all back on campus, so you know what that means: every single performance group is once again soliciting actors, musicians, and other creative types to staff its shows for the semester. Audition season isn’t as insane this semester as it was in the fall, but Hamilton will still be crowded with solos and Shakespeare monologues each night this week. Check the list below for all the audition events we could find; more detailed information can be found in the linked Facebook events and in CUPAL’s conglomerate spring auditions Facebook event.

If we missed your group, let us know in the comments or via tips@bwog.com and we’ll add your info!
