Auditions for “Uncle Vanya” will be 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday in the Bruce Owen Theater, said Brent Noel, theater professor.
Five men and four women of various ages are needed for the production, Noel said.
All students are eligible to audition. No preparation or experience is necessary, nor is a major in theater required, he said.
“Uncle Vanya” — which was written in 1899 by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov — explores the desire for love and understanding in a world of isolation, Noel said.
“It’s about a newly-retired professor and his family in Russia,” he said. “It’s a bunch of people looking for love and meaning in their lives.”
In addition, Noel said, there also are positions available for students interested in working on set design, lighting and costumes.
“We could always use more volunteers,” he said.
Noel said individuals wanting to audition should bring a pen or pencil to fill out necessary forms.
Rehearsals will begin the week after spring break and the play will be performed April 29, 30 and May 1, he said.
For more information, or to inquire about auditions, contact Noel at 405-682-1611, ext. 7246, or e-mail bnoel@occc.edu.
