Involvement Opportunities Galore!

Bad News: There are only 21 days left before classes start :(
Good News: We have a few announcements that will make you look forward to coming back to campus! And if you are a freshman/incoming student, this is another chance for you to get involved in student theatre at Rutgers University!

We have the Back-to-School Revue with our awesome friends at The Livingston Theatre Company happening from September 4th-September 6th. We're going to have a build day set for Sunday, August 23rd at 3:00pm at Cabaret Theatre. An event page for the Revue and the build will be posted by the end of the week.

Also happening on August 23rd is our last round of cleaning up Cabaret Theatre! This will be happening from 12:00pm until 5:00pm. You do not need to stay the entire time nor do you have to be a Rutgers student to attend a clean up (so feel free to bring friends, family members, former roommates, current roommates, floormates, frenemies, etc.) Information regarding the clean up can be found on the Facebook event page.

We also have auditions for Rutgers Night Live XI happening August 27th-28th at Cabaret Theatre! RNL is the sketch-comedy group within Cabaret Theatre that performs once every semester. If you like comedy and enjoy performing and/or writing skits, or if this sounds like something you would love to be involved in, come out and audition! Information regarding auditions can be found on the Facebook event page.

And that's it for now! It's always a bummer when summer is about to end (hehe rhyme hehehe), but we are so excited for the awesome things that are in stored for Cabaret Theatre this year. And we want to hear from you! Tweet us at @RutgersCabaret with what your most excited to see/do at Cabaret Theatre! 

Auditions for the Back-to-School Revue are Tomorrow (and Monday)!

Tomorrow is the first day of auditions for the Back-to-School Revue! Remember, auditions are opening to ALL Rutgers students--incoming and continuing! 

Please note that if you are planning on submitting a video for the Back-to-School Revue auditions, video submissions are due to info@ruLTC.org and producer.cabarettheatre@gmail.com NO LATER THAN TOMORROW at 11:59PM! Remember to also provide in your email your RUID, your theatrical resume, and your schedule/list of conflicts until Sept. 6th.
