University Theatre encourages auditions for fall performances
By Livi Regenbaum Special to the Kansan
Auditions for involvement in University Theatre productions begin at 7 tonight in Murphy Hall. All University of Kansas students are welcome to audition.
The Pulitzer prize-winning drama Angels in America will open the 2000-2001 season.
Angels In America — which opens Oct. 8 — was written by Tony Kushner and focuses on two couples in New York: a gay couple and a straight couple.
Katherine Pryor University Theatre associate director, said the play would attract students and open the door to discussions about controversial issues.
"Angels in America certainly causes students to think about the issue of homosexuality," she said. "With such a strong theme, we expect to have a solid turnout."
The play is one of 10 productions lined up for University Theatre's fall and spring seasons. Other productions include The Call of the Wild, based on a Jack London's book.

Another highlighted play for the season is The Bartered Bride, a classic Czech opera story about young lovers. It will open in the spring during the Lawrence Czech festival.
About 6,500 students attended plays and musicals last year, and an additional 1,000 students volunteered to help in the theater. Pryor said.
She said KU students had been taking a more active role in the theater activities.
"Students are quite sophisticated and are becoming more interested in the theater and are attracted to the arts in general," Pryor said.
Delbert Unruh University Theatre director, said the main goal of the theater was to provide appropriate theatrical training experience for KU students.
"We are training and supporting the theater artists of tomorrow," he said.
Tickets for the fall season went on sale Friday. For more information, contact the Murphy Hall box office at 864-3982 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
