Audition: Thin Walls project show directed by Krystal Ali and Jeff Bollen

Under the guidance of Co-Directors Jeff Bollen and Krystal Ali, “Thin Walls” is a WIT production scheduled for June 26 through Aug. 1 that will perform an expanded version of the Close Quarters format. Previously taught and performed at WIT in the Harold structure, this project evolves Close Quarters into a long-form experience based on a location provided by the audience. The show will require attention to detail, finding opportunities for creativity within a structured format, and ability to bring environments to life for the audience.

**SIGN-UP DEADLINE: SUNDAY, MAY 3 AT 5PM. THIS FORM WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE AT THAT TIME.**

Auditions will be held during the following dates/timeframes:

Tuesday, May 5 from 7-10 PM
Tuesday, May 12 from 7-10 PM
Wednesday, May 13 from 7-9:30 PM

Auditions will take place at various locations which will be communicated to those selected for audition on Monday May 4th via email.
