 Each show is written, directed, choreographed, and performed by students and the sets and costumes are student-made.Rehearsals begin in early October, when each cast prepares a nine-minute first half of their show to audition for the final show.Auditions take place in December when six casts are selected to move on to the final show, which is held in April in the Wisconsin Union Theater (Overture Center for the Arts 2013).
