The Grand Valley State University Women’s Center is currently searching for directors for its annual theater production.
Directors’ applications for “That Takes Ovaries: Bold Women, Brazen Acts” can be picked up from the Women’s Center and are due Friday.
“A director will be responsible for selecting activists at auditions, attending ‘That Takes Ovaries’ events, organizing and running rehearsals and bringing their piece to life on stage,” said Sarah Johnson, theater chair. “Directors are considered activists as well, they just have more responsibility with creating the look and feel of the production.”
“That Takes Ovaries” utilizes activist theater to tell the real-life stories of women and girls who have performed courageous actions.
Previous directing experience is preferred but not required, and directors do not have to identify as women to participate – all GVSU students, staff and faculty are encouraged to apply.
Auditions for That Takes Ovaries will be held Nov. 11 through 13. Performances are scheduled for Feb. 9 and 10.
