Audition Information:
•Auditions via appointment only and will be approximately 5 minutes in length.
•Please prepare one monologue ranging from 30 seconds to 1-minute long.
o The style of the monologue should be naturalistic- please avoid overly “melodramatic” or “slapstick” scripts.
o Monologues about relationships, growing up, parents, friends etc is a good example of subject matter. Touching on comedy is acceptable, but crucial to the selection of your monologue is choosing something with a human side.
o If you’re anguishing over the selection, a small handful of examples are available that you may choose from instead. These can be downloaded from: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uihRAtpCpgOUPlxWWw4ZTCqPBcYHZAtZ
• Please be aware that being able to take redirection is important for the audition, so be prepared to re-perform your monologue with a slightly different approach.
• Bring a clear non-returnable head shot of yourself.
• You may prepare a CV of your training and experience. Please provide details of singing, acting and dance training. If you don’t prepare a CV you will be asked to write these details on the audition form on the day of your audition.
