The Louisiana Tech University Department of Theatre will hold auditions for On The Verge, or The Geography of Yearning, at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 5, in Stone Theatre in Tech’s Howard Center for the Performing Arts.

Those auditioning for female characters should come at 6 with a one-minute monologue; monologues are encouraged to contain complex but not-too-difficult language.

Those auditioning for male roles should come at 7 with a one-minute, comedic monologue.

Callback will be held at 8. Those auditioning should dress in business attire.

Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 22-26 and at 2 p.m. Jan. 27.

Written by Eric Overmyer and directed by Dr. Jeremy Reynolds, On The Verge is the tale of the witty, jaunty escapade of explorers Mary, Alex, and Fanny as they navigate thick jungles and glacial plains, encounter strange new societies, and weave in and out of centuries. The play reveals and celebrates the parallels of human nature that are evident in us all.
