Hi everyone!
This post contains information about Shakespeare Ensemble scene auditions - please read it carefully and email me with any questions.
For your audition, please prepare a 1 minute comedic monologue from a Shakespeare play. You MAY use material from The Merry Wives of Windsor. My preference is always that you're memorized, but if you need to have the script in hand when you audition you may - I know that Shakespeare's language is very specific. I would MUCH rather you audition with the text in your hand to help you, than you not audition.
As a reminder, our ensemble scene is part of our Shakespeare competition team. For this scene, I am pulling from several different parts of The Merry Wives of Windsor and setting our piece on the soundstage of a 90's sitcom!
You can expect another post next week with the digital audition packet and information on signing up for an audition time. Audition packets will also be printed out and available in the Green Room the first week of school.
Several dates to mark on your calendars:
1. Monday, Aug. 28 - Shakespeare Audition workshop in the Green Room from 2:30 - 3:30
2. Tuesday, Aug. 29 - Shakespeare Auditions in Green Room (again, more on that next week)
3. Wednesday, Aug. 30 - Shakespeare Callbacks in the Green Room 2:30 - 5:00
I'm so excited about this scene and hope to see you at the workshop and auditions!
