We are so excited to announce DMS Drama's first production of the school year will be Game of Tiaras by Don Zolidi. The production will take place on March 21st and 22nd, 2024 in the DMS MPR.
" When the aging king of a Magical Kingdom (England) decides to split his empire between his three daughters, Cinderella, Belle, and the Snow Queen (who in no way resembles a copyrighted character), terrible tragedy ensues. Terrible, hilarious tragedy."
Auditions and Crew Interviews: We will have an informational meeting on November 27th in room 24 from 3:00pm-4:00 pm for all students interested in participating in this production.
ALL students auditioning should perform one of the three monologue options below. To specifically audition for a male role, please prepare PRINCE CHARMING.
To specifically audition for a female role, please prepare CINDERELLA.
To be considered for both, please prepare SOLDIER 3.
Note: if you audition with the neutral monologue, please note on your audition application which (if any) gender you would prefer to play. Refer to the character list on the next page for role gender information.
SOLDIER 3: Allow me to read from my sermon on love. ...It's an emergency sermon. (He clears his throat.) Marriage. Love. True love. When I think of marriage, I'm reminded of my best friend Barney. He was such a happy guy. Before. You should've seen him. Running around. Laughing. Joking. Making rude noises with his hand in his armpit. Kinda sounded like someone passing gas, but it was really just him squeezing his hand in there. It was... it changed my life. He changed my life. So talented. And then he got married. (He starts to tear up.) I saw Barney about three years later and I said Barney - do the thing and he said... I'm sorry I'm having a hard time continuing this story - give me a second - he said he couldn't make the farting noise anymore because she didn't think it was worthy of him. I hate that woman. It's like she took an angel and she tore off his wings. Rip. No more armpit noise. So I said, "who are you?" and he said, "I don't know man... I don't know." (He gestures to CHARMING and ELLIE.) So now you two are gonna do it. Who cares? Whatever. I can't stop ya. Do you? ...Do you? ...All right, you're married.
PRINCE CHARMING: ...So, Ellie, you realize my - oh wait. (He takes out a [third] piece of parchment.) Here we go. By now my plan is only dimply visible to you. Who is my enemy? Why are they trying to kill me? These are the questions that will still be going through your head tomorrow, as your body hangs from the gallows. Now, you might just think that you're pure of heart and that will save you. Oh no, my dear. Pure of heart saves no one. You see, your two sisters believe that the crown exists for them, but they're going to be in for such a shock when they realize it's their husband who will wield the power. And if they aren't willing to share, will, I've got plans for that too. After the wedding there will of course be many, many sad people. But that's who the game is played, isn't it? Enjoy your time in the darkness. (He looks at his paper again.) And then I put some space in here for improv-ing a few lines if I felt like it. But I'm just going to practice my smug evil laugh. Heh hehhehheh. Your head's going to be very pretty on a spike. It'll be the cutest one since I put Snow White's up there.
CINDERELLA: I'm Cinderella and we've been anxiously awaiting your arrival! Oh my gosh let me look at you! You are so pretty! Just so pretty, just so so pretty. I love this bow thing that you're doing. Gosh. Mm. You are going to have no shortage of princes after this package, let me tell you that much. They pretty much fall in love at first sight around here. ...I just wanted to let you know something though, if you see Prince Charming - HE'S MINE. Ha hahaha! Seriously, though, we're all sisters here and I will put venomous snakes in your bed at night if you so much as look at him. Okay? Okay! Let's be friends! Also - just an FYI - trust no one. (She claps her hands.) Servants! Snow White needs some help out here! Servants! (No one enters.) They must be on lunch break or something. That's okay a little torture will get them back to work.
