After you apply and submit all forms you will audition in 2 parts. We recommend you start preparing now!

Part 1 - Current Gr 8 - In-Person Group Auditions (1 hour) January 20, 2024.

All applicants will work in groups and will be led through drama warm-ups, games, movement and improvisation activities. Group auditions are about showing your ability to work with others, take direction and be open to trying new things!

Part 2 - Current Gr 8 - Virtual Individual Auditions (Monologue) & Interview (10 minutes - virtual) Jan 22-30, 2024

All applicants will have a performance audition and an interview with the audition panel which will last approximately 10 minutes. These will take place remotely via Google Meet. During the interview, each applicant will perform their two monologues individually.

Give yourself plenty of time before the audition to relax and get mentally prepared.

Monologues

Each candidate will perform two (2) monologues chosen from the provided list. All candidates are free to choose their monologues from either the Male or Female list. Both of the selected monologues are to be studied and completely memorized prior to the audition. During the performance of the monologues, the audition panel will be looking for the following:

the ability to create and sustain a believable character
believing in yourself as this character
use of imagination
physical communication (establishing character using the body, face, and voice)

Monologue Tips:

avoid fidgeting or other forms of nervous energy (unless specific to your character)
suit your delivery to the character (not every character needs to be big or over the top)
don't worry if you make a mistake; keep your composure and continue where you left off

CHOOSE ONLY TWO MONOLOGUES FROM BELOW:

Audition Monologue: Male* Characters

Audition Monologue: Female* Characters

*Students can choose from either list.
