The Arabian Nights Cast List

The following is the cast list for the spring production of Mary Zimmerman's THE ARABIAN NIGHTS.

*If you accept your role please email your acceptance to kershng@daytonastate.edu. Shortly you will be emailed a detailed rehearsal schedule and instructions on how to pick up your script. Rehearsals will begin at 7pm on Monday, February 8th.

This was a really difficult cast list to assemble. There was an incredible group who came out for auditions. Even if you were not cast, I encourage you to continue to audition for future productions, get involved with student directed projects, and volunteer back stage. It was a pleasure to meet you all.

-Geoffrey Kershner, Director of Theatre
