All Augsburg students are welcome to audition! Audition monologues, audition tips, and copies of A Midsummer Night's Dream have been placed on reserve in the library, under the name of Martha Johnson, and at the Theater department desk in Foss Center. Please choose and carefully prepare 2 monologues from those provided. It is recommended that you read the entire play in order to have a sense of the tone of the piece and the nature of the characters.
- Please arrive at the audition site at least 10 minutes before your scheduled audition time. Those who arrive after their scheduled time may not be allowed to audition.
- Please wear appropriate attire to auditions. (I.e. dress accordingly as one would for a professional audition. No jeans, flip-flops, T-shirts, crop tops, halter tops, etc.)
- Please bring to auditions a complete list of all conflicts you may have with the rehearsal and performance schedule, including work, classes, social commitments (such as weddings, anniversaries, etc.) and ensemble performances. Actors should declare all known conflicts, in writing, at the time of the general audition.
Rehearsals begin September 15 and performance dates are October 31- November 9.
Description of A Midsummer Night's Dream:
With its potent mixture of love, comedy, lyricism, and stage magic, A Midsummer Night's Dream has continued to captivate audiences for over four centuries. Set in a mythical world of ancient Athens, moonlit woods, and fairy kingdoms, the play is a poignant and hilarious look at multifarious forms of human folly. Our production will imaginatively explore the play's rich and compelling themes (both overt and covert)--love, power, gender, sexuality, marriage, class, patriarchy-through a fresh, contemporary lens, as we mine the play's poetic, humorous, and magical power.

- Professor Suzanne Doree participated in the Legacy of RL Moore Conference on Inquiry Based Learning (in Mathematics) in Denver in June, and gave a talk on Bulgarian Solitaire. In July she presented "Factorial Representations" to the Summer Mathematics Program for Women at Carleton College. While at MathFest, the annual conference of the Mathematical Association of America, in Portland this August, she presented a poster on Teaching Conjecturing, gave a talk on Turning Homework into Inquiry Based Learning Activities, and served on a panel on a new mathematics curriculum for Underprepared STEM Majors.
- Professor Matt Haines worked on two projects with three mathematics majors this summer.
Jessica Linck and Alexander Grieg worked on developing review materials for the Mathematics
Basics Skills portion of the Minnesota Teachers License Examination. Duane Pomerleau worked on developing materials to incorporate 3D printing (and the use of Augsburg's new Stratasys 3D printer) into the K-12 mathematics classroom.
- Professor Miles Ott Participated in the 2nd Computation and Visualization Consortium at Macalester College July 7-11 and presented "Edge Sampling Probabilities in Respondent-Driven Sampling" at the Joint Statistical Meetings this August.
