HOW TO PREPARE:

2. Show up! Sides (pieces from the play for you to audition with) will be provided at auditions. A time slot sign up sheet will be available in Stuart a half hour before the start of auditions.





WANT TO BE INVOLVED, BUT DON'T WANT TO ACT?
Lowry is still looking for an Assistant Director. Please contact her at lowry_marshall@brown.edu if you would like to speak with her about that opportunity.



*Now you do:
The fan placed near the heart: You have won my love.
Half-opened fan pressed to the lips: You may kiss me.
Hiding the eyes behind an open fan: I love you.
Opening and closing the fan several times: You are cruel.
Fanning slowly: I am married.
Fanning quickly: I am engaged.
Twirling the fan in the left hand: You are being watched.
