INSTRUCTIONS: PRELIMINARY AUDITIONS

For The Comedy of Hamlet! (a prequel):

A Shakespearean monologue that is under 90 seconds long, plus have the auditioners tell a short joke of their own choosing. If they do not have a Shakespeare monologue memorized, there will be one available that they can read. One or two of the roles also call for actors who can play either guitar or ukulele. If you play one of these instruments, please bring it to the audition to briefly demonstrate your ability to play.

 

Casting Call: Fall Musical [REDACTED]

The hit off-Broadway musical [REDACTED] is coming to the Burbank Auditorium at SRJC, and we are seeking talented performers to bring a group of students to life in this dark and contemporary genre-bending musical! We are not allowed to announce the title until August 31st, but trust us, you won't want to miss the wild ride.

Prepare a 32-bar cut of a contemporary musical theatre song that shows off your vocal range, style, and acting skills. Bring sheet music in the correct key. An accompanist will be provided.

For submission questions and a full breakdown of the roles available, please contact swintermeyer@santarosa.edu.

HELPFUL AUDITION RESOURCES

What's a monologue?

A monologue is a speech from a play where one character speaks for an extended period of time to another character, themselves, or the audience. Actors are usually asked not to select a monologue from the play for which they are auditioning.

What if I don't have a prepared monologue?

No worries. If you don’t have a prepared monologue already, you may use one of the 'optional' monologues linked at the bottom of this page under "GENERAL AUDITION RESOURCES." , If you've never done this before OR found out about auditions at the last minute, do not worry about memorizing the monologue or reading the play the monologue is from (unless you want to). However, reading a bit about the play’s plot and characters online can help you prepare.
