FYP has performed a musical every spring since its founding 17 years ago. The group has been featured as Bloomingdales' Entertainer of the Year, as well as a performer at Syracuse University's 44 Stars of Excellence event.
Auditions for "Urinetown" will begin in the spring. For the current semester, FYP is hosting upcoming information sessions on Oct. 21 and 23 and is planning a series of workshops in the first two weeks of November. The producers stress that this is not an audition, and there should be no fear of rejection.
"No strings attached," said Kanter, a senior newspaper journalism major. "It's not a pre-audition; it's purely for fun."
Kanter said that participation in the group is a great way for students to complete the transition into college while holding onto something they enjoyed in high school.
"I think one of the cool things about this organization is that we're a family as well," Kanter said. "We kind of serve as a sort of theater fraternity because we participate in social and community events. If you're looking for a group to get involved in and are interested in theater, then the staff are really welcoming and are willing to take you on this great experience."
