Shakespeare Ensemble Team Packet and Auditions!

 Hi everyone!  Two blog posts in one day - it's the most wonderful time of the year: Fall audition season at ALTA!!!

Struiks and I are SO excited to start working with you on the incredible theatre season that we have this year!  You've just heard from her about Hadestown, so now I get to tell you about Shakespeare Ensemble Auditions!  (Yes, I've ended each sentence with exclamation points because I am legit excited!)

As a reminder, the concept for our Shakespeare Ensemble scene this year is war strategy and warfare (yes stage combat) meets Dungeons & Dragons.  Our scene utilizes pieces of text from Henry V that we will stage as if the action is taking place within a Dungeons & Dragons Campaign - shoutout to Lyndsey Nelson for her incredible work on this script!

Please take a look at the flyer below for dates and times of the audition workshop and the auditions themselves.

Please sign up for an audition time on the callboard in the Little Theatre - (email me if you need help finding that).

You can access the Audition Packet HERE. Printed copies will also be available on the callboard of the Little Theatre the first week of school.

For your audition, you'll need a 40-60 second Shakespeare monologue.  You'll also need to bring pages 7 and 11 (filled out and signed) from the packet, and a print out of your grades from last semester.

As always, please email me (Cline) with any questions: lindsey.cline@canyonsdistrict.org
