Deadline is December 7th.

If you are interested in becoming a Writing Center Tutor, you must submit a letter of interest and a confidential and sealed letter of recommendation from your Core 1 instructor (or, if you are a second year student or above, an instructor from your current semester who can speak to your writing ability) to the Writing Program office in John Stone Hall by 4:30 pm on December 7th.  The essays in your Writing Portfolio will also be evaluated as part of the application process.

AUDITIONS!
Theatre Department Spring 2013 Production

Almost, Maine

By John Cariani
A lot of love, longing, and a little bit of loss under the northern lights.

Thursday, November 15th
3:00 to 7:00 PM
AC 215
You may sign up for a specific time outside CC room 2, or feel free to drop by!
There are 10 roles for women, and 9 for men.  There will be some double-casting.  I anticipate casting 10 to 12 people for the 19 roles.  Nothing in the script precludes a richly diverse cast. I encourage students of all backgrounds to audition!

Contact Dr. Grant at grantms@millsaps.edu
