Theater Auditions

MACBETH by William Shakespeare

Auditions:
Friday, January 20, 2012, from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Callbacks:
Sunday, January 22, 2012, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Location:
Davis Performing Arts Center, Room 035

Preparation:
Hailing Actors, Wordsmiths, Movers, Musicians for MACBETH!
Bring a 2-minute prepared monologue (contemporary or classic) or a short poem (sonnets welcome) for the audition. Shakespeare is welcome but not needed.

If you don't have a monologue (e.g. from an acting class or worked up on your own) the DPA Office (108 Davis) has a binder of monologues for perusal.

A packet of audition monologues will also be prepared by the first day of classes, if you want to choose a piece with this audition in particular in mind (not needed!).

If you are a Poet or Musician (or Juggler or Gymnast), bring a 90-second sample of your work.

CALLBACKS will be posted by Sunday morning. We will work with material from the play and do some ensemble work.

For first time auditionees:
Welcome! Memorization is less important than focus on the acting and language.

Notes for auditionees:
If auditioning for Ma Rainey, one should prepare a verse or chorus of a blues, jazz or R&B song. (Songs can be from any time period. Jazz and blues songs are preferred). If auditioning for a band member, one should note that there are singing and non-singing roles, and those who wish to audition for the singing roles should also prepare a verse or choruses of a blues, jazz or R&B song. Apart from that, nothing else should be prepared in advance. Poems will be available, as sides, at the audition for auditionees to work as monologues that they will later audition with.

For first time auditionees:
Come relaxed and ready and willing to be creatively flexible. The audition process will be fairly intimate and friendly so there is no need to be nervous or apprehensive.

GU Children's Theater

Preparation:
No preparation or prior theater experience required, just tons of enthusiasm and a desire to be involved with Children's Theater.
Auditioners need not prepare anything, as there will be excerpts from the script ready for them to read. However, if they're familiar with Neil Gaiman's works, they can feel free to prepare a portion of a Neil Gaiman children's book instead of cold-reading a monologue.
