Four Samford University theatre students have been selected to audition at Southeastern Theatre Conference general auditions in Orlando, Fla., in March.

They are: Erin Griffith of Castle Rock, Colo; John Huddlestun of Atlanta, Ga.; Christina Myers of Ridgeland, Miss.; and Brad Roller of Birmingham.

The four qualified after competing with actors from other Alabama colleges and universities in preliminary auditions earlier this fall. In Orlando, they will perform for directors representing professional theatre companies from around the nation.
