Subject: Senior project audition question<br>
<br>
Good afternoon Dr. Elsner,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My name is Gracen Fisk and I am a senior finishing my degree this fall, creating my thesis for the bachelor of arts in theatre. One of my theatre professors referred me to the psychology department to advertise my audition for my upcoming senior capstone project,
and I was wondering if you are able to send that information to the psychology email list. I will be auditioning students of all majors for this project. It is a podcast/radio drama based on the novel Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance, and I am looking
for up to 18 people to lend their voices to this project.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If this is something you can accomplish, please let me know. I hope you have been having a wonderful first day.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Gracen Fisk<o:p></o:p></span></p>
