Ben saw a flier and immediately ran towards the newly renovated theater house. "Where do I sign up?" he asked excitedly once inside of the building. He was directed towards the auditorium.

Snatching up an application, he sat right down on the floor in front of the stalls that were set up for the various directors and pulled out an ink pen. Returned as promply as possible" How about right now"

With much enthusiasm, he filled out the application.

Well, look at that. Her first day in town, and Brigid had come up on a dream opportunity for any performer. Careful questioning had brought her to the Shanachie Theatre, where she stood for a few moments, goggling at the huge landscaped public gardens that surrounded it.

Then, remembering why she was there, she stepped inside, and was shown to the auditorium, where she could see others milling about near the stage. Taking her application form, she sat down to fill it out, placing it on the pile of completed forms within a few minutes.

While she waited for the auditions to get underway, Brigid found herself looking around, impressed by what she saw. For a brand new theatre, this place certainly had the feel of decades of energy pouring into the walls. And if this hadn't been Rhy'Din, she'd have wondered at the woman who seemed to be standing in the far shadows of the lower left-hand box.
