Audition for Interactive Theatre Carolina! Do something with your theatre!

Do you want to perform and make a difference? Then you should audition to be a member of Interactive Theatre Carolina.

Auditions: Auditions will be held Tuesday September 1, Wednesday September 2, and Thursday September 3. For your audition, we prefer that you prepare a 1-2 minute monologue. If you do not have one prepared, however, you may create your own 1-2 performance that reveals who you are and your energy/presence on stage (one example might be a 1-2 minute compelling story from your past that relates to a health, wellness or social justice issue). In addition, you might participate in an improvisational exercise and/or interview with the program coordinator. Walk-ins are certainly welcome, but we prefer that you make an appointment to audition.

Eligibility: All undergraduate and graduate students at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, of all schools and majors, are encouraged to audition.

To schedule an audition for Interactive Theatre Carolina, or for more information on ITC, please contact Ben Saypol, Program Coordinator at or 919-966-2999.

Details/Commitment: If you become part of Interactive Theatre Carolina, you will be one of 22 select student actors in an established, well-respected program that does important health, wellness, and social justice work on campus and in the community. The minimum commitment is attending the ensemble rehearsals, which are held once a week on Mondays from 5-7 pm. On top of that, students attend individual scene rehearsals and performances as they are available for - and cast in - the various scenes. ITC students perform in an average of two scenes a semester. ITC itself holds approximately 35 performances per year.

We are looking for dedicated actors. If you are cast and join ITC, we ask that you commit to the ensemble for one semester. Beyond that, it is up to you. Most students, though, remain in the ensemble for the rest of their college careers. After being in the ensemble for one semester, student actors are eligible to take the Interactive Theatre Carolina course (COMM 260-2) to earn college credit for your work in ITC. At present, students who have been in the ensemble for at least one year earn an hourly wage for their service to the ensemble and community. Paying student actors is always subject to continued funding of that line item from year to year.
