Auditions for “Laughing at Life: A Performance of Kyôgen Plays” will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 4-5, from 6:30-9:30 p.m. in the Bruce Davis Theater, Montgomery Hall Fine Arts Center on St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s campus. Callbacks will be held on Thursday, September 6. Performance dates are November 8-11 and 15-18, 2012.
