CSM’s Releases Autumn Arts Schedule
Art shows, theatre productions and auditions on the agenda
From art shows to theatre productions, the College of Southern Maryland has created a packed scheduled for the Autumn Arts Schedule for the 2015 fine arts program. Starting with August auditions and ending with productions, readings, and exhibits, the Arts at CSM are going strong and there are dozens of opportunities for the community to participate.
“The Fine Arts program at CSM is pleased to be a part of an all-college theme of ‘Music’ for the 2015-16 academic year,” said CSM Communication, Arts and Humanities Chair Dr. Stephen Johnson. “CSM will be featuring traditional as well as unique and innovative ways of celebrating the theme of music on all its campuses and in a variety of programs.”
In addition to the annual music ensemble concerts and recitals, theatrical events such as the fall musicals “Oliver!” and “Alexander, Who’s Not Not Not Not Not Not Going to Move” will celebrate the theme. There will also be informal brown bag lunch concerts on campus, and diverse departments will incorporate elements of music into their disciplines, such as science, art, languages and mathematics.
Audition for the fall productions at the La Plata Campus Fine Arts Building Theatre from 6-8 pm Aug. 17 and 18. The fall productions include Main Stage Theatre’s “Oliver!” Children’s Theatre’s “Alexander, Who’s Not Not Not Not Not Not Going to Move” and Cause Theatre’s “The Bright Blue Mailbox Suicide Note.” Performers should prepare a one-minute monologue, 16 bars of music and be ready to dance.
