The Mask and Wig Club

If you join the Cast: yup! don’t forget to smile!

If you join the Band: it depends. for shows, you can kinda just sit and chill while for gigs, it's more like playing a concert.

If you join Biz or Crew: you don’t have to be on stage if you don't want to.

Come to our NSO Events! You can get updates by filling out our interest form or following our Instagram @maskandwig. All of us are super excited to meet you and share our experiences in Mask and Wig!

Fill out our interest form! We’ll let you know about our upcoming events and other opportunities. You can also follow our Instagram @maskandwig where you will find event updates, past content from shows, and perspectives from some current members.

Yes! You can apply for as many sections as you would like, but you will only be selected for one section.

While you will only be in one section, there are still opportunities to work with other sections. For example: You may be selected for the Cast who you will spend most of your time with, but you will still have the opportunity to help the Crew build the set. Alternatively, you may be in the Crew and will still get the chance to help the Cast write the shows! To understand what section might be best for you, we encourage you to come to our NSO events and ask current members what their experiences have been like.

Auditions will be held on September 4th, 2023 in Houston Hall. We encourage you to come to our Free Show on September 1st to see what we do and hear from all of our sections about their individual work. You will arrive and fill out a written application for each section you wish to apply for (Cast/Band/Crew/Business Staff) and you can apply for 1 or many. Each section’s audition process looks different ranging from scene and dance auditions for the cast, to an interview for the Business Staff. The best way to figure out what to expect is to follow our social media accounts, show up to our NSO events, and ask current members what their auditions looked like!

Our application process is an in-person “audition.” Please show up to Houston Hall on September 1-2, 2024 where members of the company will help you through the process. You will complete a written application and section specific in-person auditions depending on which section(s) you apply for. Decisions will be made the same day! If you cannot make it to in person auditions, we encourage you to reach out to ugexec@maskandwig.com and we will do our best to accommodate you!

Mask and Wig is half a theatre group, half a social group.

For the theatre half:

Mask and Wig has two productions: an original sketch comedy show in the Fall and an original book musical in the Spring. Mask and Wig’s time commitment is reflective of the time that it would take to put on any production of a similar scale. If you’ve ever been involved with a musical production, you can expect a similar amount of commitment.

For the social half:

Mask and Wig has just under 50 members, all with diverse backgrounds, interests, and personalities. A large amount of your time in Wig will be interacting, having fun, and making memories with these amazing people. This social commitment involves 135-year old traditions and fresh social events that we can’t wait for you to experience. Additionally, one of our biggest time commitments is our expenses-paid Tour over Spring Break where we travel to multiple cities as a group. Fond memories have included performing sold-out shows in New York City, climbing Mount Royale in Montréal, and yachting on a 50-foot catamaran in Cancun. The best part is we get to do it all together!
