Auditions take place for one week, as each show holds a number of three hour slots throughout the week in which to audition actors. Callbacks occur that weekend and cast lists are posted the following Monday. Actors have 24 hours to accept or reject roles. Since its inception in 1908, Harvard has presented multiple plays, musicals and other theatrical works every semester. Before the current system, auditions for each show were conducted independently throughout the semester...
