Audition to tell ‘COVID Stories’

Published Date:

University of Illinois Springfield and SIU School of Medicine are partnering to present COVID Stories, a reader’s theater using real interviews about local Illinois residents’ pandemic experiences.

COVID Stories will be performed at the school of medicine at 7 p.m. on Friday, September 26, and at UIS at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, October 9.

Readers will be chosen from our central Illinois communities. No experience is necessary. Anyone interested in being a reader/orator may attend an audition on September 2 or 3 at 7 p.m. in VPA 170 on the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) campus. Priority casting will be given to students, staff, faculty or alumni of either UIS or the school of medicine.
