"Agon," a new student-written musical, tells the story of Wyatt Heleringer, a disenfranchised student at Agon High School, who with the help of his friends, challenges the status quo and tries to escape the oppressive regime of incumbent class president Danica Rani and her malevolent chess club in a wall-shattering political campaign!
This production is written, directed, performed, and produced by students. Appearing for the first time on the SAC Auditorium stage (SAC 1.402), "Agon" will run for three nights only: Friday, April 19th and Saturday, April 20th at 7:00pm and Sunday, April 21st at 2:30pm. Doors will open thirty minutes before each performance. The show will be presented in two acts with a fifteen minute intermission. It is FREE for UT students. Bring your UT ID--no ticket needed!
Join us for the world premiere of this new work! "Agon" is proudly presented by the Madrigal Theatre Committee. For more information on "Agon," contact agonmusical@live.com or visit (and like/follow) us at:

Calling all University of Texas at Austin students!
UT's Madrigal Theatre Committee is holding auditions for its two original, student-written productions to debut this spring! For the first time ever, our committee is simultaneously producing an original play and an original musical, and we're looking for performers of all experience levels to cast these exciting new shows! Auditions for both shows will take place across three days in the Student Activity Center on campus. You must be a UT student to audition but do not need to be any particular major.
Auditions for the musical Agon:
Tuesday Jan. 15: SAC 1.118, 7-10 p.m.; Wednesday Jan. 16: SAC 1.118, 7-10 p.m.; Thursday Jan. 17: SAC 1.118, 8-11 p.m.
The Madrigal play auditions:
Tuesday Jan. 15: SAC 1.106, 7-10 p.m.; Wednesday Jan. 16: SAC 1.106, 7-10 p.m.; Thursday Jan. 17: SAC 1.106, 7-10 p.m.
Those auditioning for the musical should plan to show up promptly at the beginning of the audition block (7:00pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, 8pm on Thursday) on their selected audition day, prepared to sing 32 bars or 30 seconds to a minute of a song that showcases their voice. Beyond that, auditions for both the play and the musical will consist of cold reads. No monologue necessary.
The musical Agon tells the story of a high school class election that takes place in a dystopian future where nerds have taken control of society. The play has been picked from several exciting submissions, all of which are written by UT students. The Madrigal play will perform April 10 and 11 in the SAC Auditorium. The musical, Agon, performs April 18, 19, 20 in the SAC Auditorium as well.
Join us for these exciting new productions! Contact Reid O'Conor at reidoconor@utexas.edu or Matt Hill at mattbhill@live.com for more information on Madrigal Theatre auditions, or visit us at our website or at Facebook.
