Hey little toes!

We're back this semester with two full-blown productions: Ben Jonson's The Alchemist and Will Eno's Middletown.

Auditions will be next week - Thursday, September 8th from 6-9 pm in 3.116 (TX Governor's Room) in the Union and Friday, September 9th from 5-9 pm in CAL 100. If you're interested in tech & design or acting, you only have to show up for Thursday or Friday, not both. We'll give you a form to fill out about your experience and what you're interested in doing this semester, and if you're wanting to act, we'll give you some scenes to read. You do not need to prepare a monologue beforehand.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram at footinthedoortheatre.

Hey little toes!

We’re happy to announce one of our projects for this semester, a writing + directing workshop that will be performed in April! If you’re interested in theatre and want to participate, here’s a couple ways you can do so:

1) As a writer and director, you will participate in a 3-week workshop to write a short play (about 10-20 minutes in length). After the workshop, we’ll choose several plays to proceed to the directing stage of the workshop, and if your play is chosen, you’ll get to direct and see it staged as part of our collective performance in April. You will be supported every step of the way, so if you’re unsure if you’re up to the task, don’t be afraid to go for it!
2) As an actor and/or tech, we’ll need you once our writers are ready to start directing. We’ll hold auditions in mid-February, so keep an eye out for that announcement if you’re interested!

Right now, we’re getting ready to start the writing workshop portion of our spring collective. If you’re interested in being a writer and director, please email us at [email protected] by January 23rd.

Don’t hesitate to email us if you have any questions! We look forward to seeing you soon!
