The Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) Players will host auditions for its spring production of Twelfth Night, Jan. 11-12 and Jan. 15-16. Auditions are open to LMU students, faculty and the surrounding community.

Twelfth Night is a comedy by William Shakespeare about twins, Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola falls in love with Duke Orsino, who in turn is in love with the Countess Olivia. Countess Olivia falls in love with Viola who has disguised herself as a man, Cesario.

The auditions will take place in the Sam and Sue Mars Performing Arts Center in the Duke Hall of Citizenship from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
