PJC Drama holding PlayFest Auditions Thursday and Friday
March 17, 2025
Auditions for the Paris Junior College Drama Department’s 10th Annual Pyro PlayFest, “Where There is a Will, there is a Way!” will be held Thursday and Friday, March 20 and 21, at 6:00 p.m. They will be held on the Duane Allen Stage in the Ray E. Karrer Theater in the Administration Building on the Paris campus, 2400 Clarksville Street in Paris.
“We’re excited to announce open auditions for the 10th Annual Pyro PlayFest,” said PJC Drama faculty William L. Walker, “a thrilling celebration of new works and emerging talent. We are seeking actors ages 16 and up to bring to life twelve brand-new short plays written by playwrights from around the world.”
All are welcome to audition, whether they are a seasoned performer or stepping onstage for the first time. The PlayFest offers opportunities to develop acting skills, collaborate with a dynamic creative team, and be part of an exciting theatrical experience. The theme was inspired by the Bard, William Shakespeare, but the call for plays stated the theme could be interpreted any way the playwright chose.
“This is your chance to be part of a bold, innovative festival that celebrates storytelling in all its forms,” Walker said. “If you’re ready to step into the spotlight and bring new characters to life, we want to see you at auditions!”
The auditions will include cold readings from selected scripts, group and individual scene work, and a fun and supportive environment. The PlayFest will be performed from April 23 to April 27, 2025.
