Honors Theatre Arts
Audition Project 

Monologue Selection should be finalized by Monday, Feb 6.

​For the first section of this project, you will be selecting one monologue to prepare and present in class.  You may choose from one of the options below:
  • Classical Monologue (Shakespeare):  If you are selecting a Shakespeare monologue, it should chosen from the ESU Shakespeare Competition list (information posted below).  
  • Modern Comedic Monologue:  Chosen from a play published within the past 125 (ish) years.  
  • Modern Dramatic Monologue:  Chosen from a play published within the past 125 (ish) years.
​
Modern Monologue Requirements:
  • Monologue should be 1-2 minutes long.
  • Monologue should be from a published play.
  • Monologue should be approved by Mr. Faw (Shakespeare monologues from the ESU list are automatically approved).
  • Your monologue selection should be one that you have NOT previously worked on.

Shakespeare Monologue Info

If you are choosing a Shakespearean Monologue, it should be one that you have not worked on previously, or currently, for another project or class.  

Once you have chosen your monologue, you can sign up for it.  Please check the sign up list to make sure that you're not signing up for a monologue that has already been claimed (scroll to the bottom of this page to see that sign up list).  You will need to know play name, character name, act, scene, and line numbers, and monologue number.

Make sure that the monologue and sonnet are not in red on the list (selections in red are not allowed to advance to the next levels of competition).
​
***Shakespearean monologues should be chosen from the list below.***  
Click here for the approved monologue list

***To compete at the branch competition (or higher), you must also prepare and present a Shakespearean sonnet from the ESU approved list.
Click here for the approved sonnet list.



The winners of the in class competition will receive an invitation to compete in the school competition in the spring, and the winner of the school competition will continue on to compete in the branch competition.  The winner of the branch competition will receive an invitation to compete at the National Competition.

These monologues will be graded on the basics of monologue work (projection, diction, physicalization, characterization). 

A few notes from the ESU website:
Students should speak naturally.  We urge them to use their own voice rather than affect a British accent.  (no accents will be allowed for the class project)
Students should not wear costumes or use props of any kinds; including chairs, hair clips, jewelry, hats or any other added costume pieces (basic daily clothing, nothing that gets in the way of acting).

You should identify the selection before you begin.
