Utah State University’s theater department is preparing for its 2014-2015 season by posting its callbacks on Tuesday for its production of “Bus Stop.”Richie Call, an assistant professor of acting and the director of the play, said he loves the production by William Inge and hopes to be surprised.
“I’m always looking for people who surprise me,” Call said. “So if they make a choice that I haven’t thought of, that’s always attractive to me because I think, ‘Maybe they’ll do this in the rehearsal room.’”
He said that he’s less interested in actors who just memorize lines and stage direction because anyone can do that.
“I’m more interested in people who take what they have and then, based on that, make interesting choices,” Call said.
Sydnee Fullmer, a theater student at USU, was one of the few called back. She auditioned for the role of Grace and is thankful it’s not a musical.
“I get a little more nervous when it’s musical auditions,” Fullmer said. “You have to sing and do pieces and dance usually. This big of a scene - you memorize it, you do it and it’s not too bad.”
The cast should be posted by Friday. Show dates for the 2014-2015 season have not been announced.
