  • THE THANKSGIVING PLAY

    Flyer for USC Upstate Theatre Spring 2026 Auditions

    By Larissa FastHorse
    Directed by Allen Evans

    Production Dates: Jan. 29-31, 2026

    About THE THANKSGIVING PLAY: Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally woke teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.

    VOICES TO HEAR is a staged reading series here at USC Upstate that shines a light on recent works from both upcoming and established playwrights with a focus on diverse characters, themes, and cultures that may not be experienced or appreciated within the confines of the mainstream, commercial theatre.

    Roles Available: 2W, 2M

    MACBETH

    Flyer for USC Upstate Theatre Spring 2026 Auditions

    By William Shakespeare
    Directed by Laura Rikard

    Production Dates: Mar. 26-29, 2026

    About MACBETH: In the play, a brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to violence by his wife, Macbeth murders the king and takes the Scottish throne for himself. Then, racked with guilt and paranoia, he commits further violent murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, soon becoming a tyrannical ruler.
