Group Interpretation

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hello! My name is Luke Langlois and I will be directing the 2024 Group Interpretation production of To Catch a Thief: A “Choose Your Own Adventure” Story. I have directed the past three years of Group Interpretation productions, Percy Jackson & The Olympians : The Lightning Thief in 2023, The Little Mermaid in 2022, and the Zoom production of Come From Away in 2021.

What is Dungeons & Dragons: To Catch a Thief?

Let’s start with this: Dungeons & Dragons is a cooperative adventure tabletop game where a group is able to role-play different characters in a fantasy setting to ultimately tell a group story. This is a “Choose Your Own Adventure” style book. The reader is able to make choices that lead to many different set outcomes. Mix the two together and we are sure to have a great adventure on our hands.

What is Group Interpretation?

Group Interpretation (GI) is a 30 minute competitive group play. We don’t use props, or costumes in a traditional sense. We also have a limited performance space and a standardized set that consists of 16 wooden pieces that we are free to use in creative ways. Group Interp is all about how you can tell a story as a full group while the performance or character were meant to be as one. Think black-box theater meets radio play.

What are the dates for auditions and callbacks? Where are they taking place?

Auditions are Monday, December 11 & Wednesday, December 13 starting at 4:10PM. There are no callbacks for this production. Participants should sign up for timeslots to audition by following this link. If you cannot attend please contact me ([email protected]) via email as soon as possible. All auditions will be held in room 311. The waiting room will be just inside the LRC.

I am involved in other Winter or Spring Sports and Activities, can I still audition?

Yes, however, please check with your other sponsors or coaches prior to auditions to confirm practice schedules can be adjusted for participating in GI. If you are auditioning I will expect you to have already cleared this with your coach and our rehearsal schedule will not have conflicts.

I also want to audition for the Musical, what should I do?

You may only audition for both with the understanding you will not be offered a lead role in either performance. Please reach out to myself (Luke Langlois) and the Musical Director (Tina Jacklin) if you have any questions or concerns
