Open casting for a student directed play entitled "Muse of Fire" by Kelly McAllister. AUDITIONS ARE FRIDAY 7-10pm, SATURDAY 10-1pm, and SUNDAY 1-4pm "Muse of Fire"is a comedic play about two novice muses who travel down to San Jose, CA to a college theatre troupe to fulfil their required contract. Their contract states they must help Emily, the leading lady, find her spark and give her the ability to give her best performance yet as the troupe puts on "As You Like it" Along the way we meet whimsical characters like the spastic director, the hard headed stage manager, the heart throb, and I can't forget the comedian. We slowly follow this company through the muses, until we find out just what their contract asks.

DION- A novice muse. Very impulsive. Sweet natured, chaotic, and constantly amazed at all the beauty in the world.
