AUDITIONS!!!

We are now starting our second semester of Shakespeare and that means (drumroll, please!) .................................................AUDITIONS!!!

In case you couldn't tell, I'm pretty excited :) We will hold these next Thursday (Feb 4th) in class, and each student will have the opportunity to audition for the character they would like to play in the spring performance. 

Here's how it will go. Leiloni and I will go into one of the rooms off the stage and call you in one at a time. We will ask you to perform your audition piece, and then we'll ask you a few questions about why you want the character, how big of a role you'd be comfortable with, etc. 

Your audition piece can be a variety of things, such as:

- A monologue by the character you're auditioning for.

- A monologue that shows off your acting skills (doesn't have to be by the character you're auditioning for).

- A piece of dialogue by your character. 

Any piece you choose should be memorized. If you go the monologue route, the monologue does not have to be super long. However, it should be longer than a couple of lines. If you choose to perform dialogue, Leiloni and I can help you out and read the other parts in the piece. 

You also need to have read Much Ado About Nothing by Thursday, and preferably have at least read a summary before you figure out which character you're going to audition for. 

As we get into auditions, it is important to remember that we're all here to learn, grow, and have fun. Leiloni and I will choose parts based on more than just your audition. You may get a part that is bigger, smaller, or a different type of character than you expected. Whatever role you do get, make it the best for you! We are SO excited to see you nail it!

See you at auditions,
