Cast Auditions for Medieval Fair 2020<br>
</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">Be more than just an observer, become part of the team that brings the Medieval Fair to life!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">These are improv auditions. You don’t need to prepare any audition materials ahead of time; that’s the magic of improvisational theater. Come prepared to show off your loudest voice or quietest
whisper, to sing a song or perhaps to whistle it, to delicately dance or trippingly tumble, to share what you love to do or to ask us why we do this. Everyone, veterans and novices alike, must audition. Costumes are NOT required for auditions. If you are unable
to attend this day, please contact Ann Marie Eckart by email at ameckart@ou.edu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">Beggars, peasants, townspeople, nobles and others are needed. This is your opportunity to learn a lot about interactive environmental performance (street theater) and a little about medieval
history, costuming, dances and more. You don't have to be an actor, just a good team player that is willing to learn and to have fun!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
