Update Casting Notice: Matilda

The youth auditions for MATILDA originally scheduled for MAY 9 and 10 are being postponed until further notice.   Because of  the COVID-19 virus, plans for our 2020 season are currently undetermined.  We hope to announce these auditions for later this summer and re-open the submission process at that time.  Those who have already been given a scheduled audition time will have first priority when we announce the future audition date.

We at EPAC wish everyone good health at this very trying time. We will try the best we can to open our doors to present “theater that matters” as soon as possible. Our audience’s, staff and actors health is our utmost concern.

Thank you for your interest and continued support of EPAC during this time.
