Audition Opportunities for VCU students

Richmond Shakespeare always appreciates the tremendous hard work and professional attitude of the students coming from VCU's Department of Theatre.  Having attended myself, I am always pleased to see VCU students at our auditions. Please pass along, and post where possible these auditions for Romeo and Juliet and King Lear.
Thank you,
