Introduce myself and plays- Explain rdgs. Will only be from 3 of the 5. I may have parts doubled and the last 2 plays may require further callbacks from those cast at a later time.
Breakdown into reading groups and send them to breakout rooms to practice until called. They may return to main room when they feel ready, but there may be a wait. (3 breakout rooms for each of 3 plays)
Read all at least twice.
Release Jay’s needs first, then others, when done.

Leave No Trace—pages 8-10
Her Velcro Voice—pages 5-8

Podcast Hosts directed by Jen Vellenga submit on Canvas by 11:59pm tonight (8/26)
All who auditioned have been invited to join a Canvas course, “Podcast Host Callback.” If interested, please follow the instructions on the assignment to upload a voice recording. If you did not get the invite to join, please email Jen Vellenga vellenga@ksu.edu or Shannon Skelton sbskelton@ksu.edu for access.
If you are interested in voiceover work to introduce the audio plays and to read/record commercials and promotional copy, this is the job for you! Only submit if interested!
The instructions and copy (text) to record is in the assignment on Canvas, but here it is below as well:
Please upload a recording of the following two excerpts- HOST TEXT and PROMO TEXT. Record in a quiet environment. A closet is great or try recording under a blanket! Using earbuds with a mic works much better than recording directly into your phone, laptop or other device.
HOST TEXT:
This is Kansas Theatre Works. I’m [YOUR NAME].

PROMO TEXT:
Each year, the K-State Book Network selects a common reading for first year students, providing an intellectual experience they can share with other students and members of the Kansas State University community. The 2020 K-State First Book is The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, an autobiography of young William Kamkwamba, who created a windmill from scrap materials and old science books so that his Malawian village would have electricity and running water.
On Tuesday Sept. 3 at 5:30pm, Join Tara Coleman and Kathrine Schlageck in a live Zoom discussion of the First Book and the Beach Museum of Art Common Work of Art by Kansas-born artist and K-State graduate, Shirley Smith.
Smith’s untitled oil painting of a windmill has been chosen as the Common Work of Art to complement this year’s First Book. Like Kamkwamba, Smith grew up in an agricultural community in Kansas, and during the later years of her career her artwork reflected this. Spending the summers in Whitewater, Kansas she painted the farmland and its animals, including goats, sheep and pigs.
The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University celebrates regional art and brings art and artists from around the world to the heart of Kansas.
