WIT announces auditions for new production: First Comes Love

First Comes Love, a WIT Directors Series project set to debut Summer 2020, is an improvised wedding. Each curtain will follow a couple from proposal to “I do!”  This show’s heart, tension, and comedy will come from exploring the range of emotions and obstacles that a wedding brings to light.

First Comes Love‘s directorial team is Justine Hipsky, Krystal Ramseur, and Lauren Woody.

Auditions will be held on Wed., March 4, 2020, at the Latin American Youth Center (1419 Columbia Rd NW), and Sat., March 7, 2020, at Source Theater (1835 14th St. NW). The deadline to sign up is 11:59 PM ET on Saturday, February 15, 2020.
