RIVERWALK THEATRE and the MSU College of Law are looking for actors who are interested in playing the defendant, and witnesses in mock civil trials for the MSU College of Law Trial Practice Institute. There are 4 trials, all using the same case study over 2 days. We are looking for a total of 16 actors --2 actors to play the defendant and 14 other actors to play the witnesses. Each character will appear in 2 trials. A $250 stipend will be paid for participation in this project.*
Actors would need to be available on all of the following dates:
• Saturday, March 5, 9-11 am for an orientation and coaching session with the class professors.
• Saturday, March 19, 10am – 2pm, for Zoom interviews with the student lawyers. (Additional interviews may be mutually arranged by witnesses and the legal teams in the weeks before up to the trials.)
• Saturday, April 23 and Sunday, April 24, 8am – 4pm for the trials (Trials may be in person or virtual depending on MSU safety protocols in April.)
