BUSTED: Will it be a knockout?

Season 12 of BU's BUSTED opens Monday, Oct. 1, at 9 p.m. in the Kehr Union Ballroom. Photography intern Lee Patton covered the auditions at the beginning of the semester for 8 to 10 new members to round out the cast of 24.

BUSTED, organized by residence life staffer George Kinzel, has presented 78 shows so far, both for the college audience and performances at high school conferences. In addition to the cast, another half dozen students work behind the scenes in production.
