AUDITIONS FOR DEPT. STAGE PRODUCTIONS
Auditions – Fall 2024
All auditioners must complete THIS FORM prior to auditioning.
Auditions will begin at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, September 4 in The Minor Latham Playhouse (118 Milbank Hall) with a group meeting. Individual auditions will begin shortly thereafter. See below for information on our Fall 2024 productions, what to prepare for your audition, and the callback process. Everyone who auditions must complete the Google Form linked above.
The productions for the Fall semester are:
Trouble in Mind
by Alice Childress
Directed by Dara Malina
October 17-19, 2024
Three Sisters
by Anton Chekhov; Translated by Paul Schmidt
Directed by Gisela Cardenas
November 21-23, 2024
Choose an audition piece, and read the entire play it’s taken from before the audition. Work on the audition piece in advance; waiting until the night before the audition is highly discouraged. The audition monologue is limited to 60 seconds.
If a production in a given semester is a musical or features music, you may be asked to sing. In such cases, we ask that you prepare 16 bars of music (under a minute) to perform a cappella. Further details will be provided on the audition form if the director has specific instructions on this front.
Some basic questions to consider when preparing your audition piece:
- Who am I?
- Where am I (what is the time, weather and place)?
- Who am I talking to?
- Why am I saying this now, or what makes it important to say this now?
- What am I hoping to achieve by saying this? Or, how do I hope things will change because I say this?
Callbacks will be posted the next morning and held that same evening Thursday, September 5. Cast lists will be posted Friday, September 6. If you are cast, you must register for the following course:
- THTR UN2022 Practicum Performance Show 1: Trouble in Mind, directed by Dara Malina
- THTR UN2023 Practicum Performance Show 2: Three Sisters, directed by Gisela Cardenas
