The Yellow Wallpaper Audition Information
- Monday, Aug 4 will be theatre activities, a script read through, a discussion of how auditions will go, and then you will have time to further prepare your audition with scene partners.
- Tuesday, Aug 5 will be our day for primary auditions, and we will talk though what the second day of auditions will look like.
- Wednesday, Aug 6 we will NOT be meeting. This will give an additional day for you to prepare for the second day of auditions.
- Thursday, Aug 7 will be the second day of auditions.
- Like musical auditions, you will have a 'primary' audition scene. Your audition scene should be memorized and prepared. (If you are helping someone else out for a different audition scene, it's okay to have the script in your hand for that).
- If you are interested in multiple characters, you can have more than one 'primary' audition scene that you have memorized and prepared.
