Venue description

This department offers several types of performance experiences for the UAB undergraduate theatre student. These range from fully mounted main stage productions in the Odess and Sirote theatres, Actor Showcase presentations directed by faculty, the annual Festival of Ten-Minute Plays, and student-generated one act plays and scenes. The department views all productions as extensions of student training. The department maintains a policy of non-traditional casting. All auditions are open and equal consideration is given to freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Roles are assigned based on the needs of the production and in an attempt to further the development of each individual student.
