ACTOR AUDITIONS (PAID, NON-UNION)

Tyst (pronounced tüst) a nonprofit organization concentrating on 
Scandinavian performances, is launching a summer season of plays at Hiram 
College. There will be an open call for non-Equity actors on Monday, May 2, 
between 7 to 9 p.m. at Hayden Auditorium just north of Route 82 on Route 
700. Please call the Tyst office at (216) 241-2510 to schedule an audition 
time.

>From Cleveland, Hiram is 45 minutes to the east. Take Route 422 past Lake 
Punderson and turn right at Route 700 in Welshfield. Hiram is 5 miles to the
