INA — Actors are called to come to life on the Rend Lake College stage this fall alongside a beloved Christmas toy for the Rend Lake College 2018 Fall Play “The Nutcracker.” Auditions for the show will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4 in the RLC Theater. The play will hit the stage this fall Nov. 8-11.

Actors and community members age 16 and older are invited to audition. Each individual will be asked to cold read from the script, which will be provided during auditions, and perform some dance steps, though Director Tracey Webb said the show is not a ballet. Actors should dress professionally and bring appropriate footwear.

After the cast announcement, rehearsals will be held from 6-9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays in the RLC Theater, with some exceptions. For more information about auditions, contact Webb at 618-437-5321, Ext. 1295 or webbt@rlc.edu.

RLC students in the fall play will register for the tuition-free Practicum in Theatre (THEA 1102) class to participate. Students will earn three credit hours at the end of the semester. There is a technology fee associated with the class of $60.
