Auditions:
Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off
Auditions will take place on Thursday and Friday Dec. 3 and 4 in Schoolroy. Students should be aware that they are expected to attend both days of auditions. If this is a problem please contact the stage manager.
Those interested will need to prepare a two minute monologue that displays heightened language (like Shakespeare) and a noble type character. Students are also encouraged to read the script and may be asked to perform your monologue using an English accent.
Students should also prepare about 16 bars of a Celtic ballad like ìThe Water is Wide.” Songs like ìAuld Lang Syne” or ìAmazing Grace” are also okay, but you can find more examples at http://www.glasgowguide.co.uk/wmjc/wmjc-a.shtml. This will be sung a cappella and performed with your monologue on Thursday.
On Friday there will be a dance audition so students should wear clothing they can easily move in. They will also do more group work as needed. If you have any questions or concerns please direct them to Amanda Barker (stage manager) at abarker10@wooster.edu.
Students interested in Assistant Stage Managing or being a Production Assistant please contact Jody Tidwell at jtidwell@wooster.edu or visit her in the scene shop.
