Family. War. Sacrifice. Before the Greek fleet can sail to Troy, the gods demand a terrible sacrifice. Theatre@First's outdoor production of Iphigenia unites two classic plays into one sweeping story of family, fate, and the choices that shape history.

Auditions will consist of cold scene readings. You should review all the audition sides, as you may be asked to read any of them during your audition and you may not have time for further review at that point. Copies will be provided. If there is a side you would especially like to read, please note that on your audition form and we will try to accommodate your request.
