Dead Man’s Cell Phone – a surreal comedy about Jean, a quiet woman who has not engaged with the world, answers a man’s cellphone after discovering that he is dead in a café.
- Cast: 3 female presenting/ 2 male presenting.
She Loves Me* – this musical comedy pits Georg and Amalia, two perfumery shop clerks in the 1930s, against each other. Neither realize that they have already fallen in love as secret pen-pals through a lonely-hearts letter writing club, while they loathe each other in person.
- Primary cast: 2 female presenting/ 6 male presenting, plus ensemble.
*Please note that actors are eligible to be cast in both the Capstone and She Loves Me, but there will be no casting overlap between Dead Man’s Cell Phone and the other fall productions.
This spring, we will be casting the Capstone and some mainstage roles, finalizing ensemble roles in August.
UNOTheatre Student Eligibility Policy
Students must maintain a minimum semester GPA of 2.0 to be eligible for acting roles or advanced technical Practicum assignments.
Students cast in productions are expected to prioritize their coursework and class preparation. Missing theatre classes or failing to engage may negatively impact grades, particularly in Practicum courses. Success in productions is enhanced by the knowledge and skills gained in the classroom, making attendance in both arenas essential.
