Please indicate on the form below if you wish to be considered for both Twelfth Night and PUP Fest or just Twelfth Night.

PUP Fest 2026 is a festival of staged readings where students like yourself perform scripts written by your peers! No prior acting experience is necessary - PUP Fest is a great opportunity for both those looking to further their performance experience and those looking to try something new!
