  • Step 5:   For your audition, you can choose to audition with either a performance focus (monologue) or with a technical focus (portfolio presentation).
            

Performance Focus: You will present an audition monologue after school on March 19, 2024.  The monologue should be:
  • Between 1-2 minutes in length
  • From a published play (straight play, not a musical)
  • Contemporary (meaning from within the past 125 years).  

Technical Focus: You will present a technical portfolio after school on March 20, 2024 in the auditorium alcove.  The portfolio presentation:
  • should be between 4 and 7 minutes long. 
  • should be focused on technical work or skills that would help you in the class (doesn't have to be theatrical)
  • should be accompanied by digital presentation (PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc) showing pictures of the work you have done

NOTE:  Both monologues and portfolio presentations will be timed.
