The Grace of Mary Traverse

Friday, November 20 from 1:00 - 4:30 p.m.
Saturday, November 21 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Location:  Davis Performing Arts Center, Devine Theatre

Callbacks:
Monday, November 23 from 8 – 11 p.m.
Location:  Davis Performing Arts Center, Devine Theatre

Preparation:
Copies of The Grace of Mary Traverse are already on reserve in 108 Davis Performing Arts Center if you would like to read it, to see if this ensemble, character-driven, comedic-tragic rollercoaster of a play appeals. (It’s great!) Some women will be asked to sing at callbacks.
Best to avoid tennis shoes at callbacks (fine for auditions).

For first-time auditionees:
A 1-2 minute audition monologue (eg from Acting 1 class)
OR working from one of the audition monologues set aside for The Grace of Mary Traverse in 108 Davis as of November 1—and which will be available at the audition site. IF you are preparing these, focus less on memorization than on acting—bringing the material to life; focusing on events, relationship, objective, and journey; embracing character.


For returning group members:
Those who have a 1-3 minute audition monologue should refresh it: while Shakespeare or text with heightened language is great, contemporary realism is fine. Comedic or serious.
