Auditions are set for Feb. 21-22 to cast West Virginia University at Parkersburg’s spring production of "A Tale of a Malay Princess," an original play written and directed by Mohamed Ghouse Nasuruddin. 

A Malaysian scholar, Nasuruddin is the college’s first Fulbright Visiting Scholar and is teaching theatre appreciation during the spring semester. Nasuruddin earned his Ph.D. in drama and theatre from Indiana University in Bloomington.
