Have a wonderful summer. Don't let anyone tell you that you've had a break. Distance learning was NOT a break. Take care of each other, I love you!
Students interested in being an actor in our production of Guys and Dolls Jr. must follow the following steps-
1- Sign up for an audition slot. The audition signup is located on the call board outside of Mr. Dowell's room (the Black Box Theatre, 120). DATES FOR THE AUDITIONS- Wed. 2/26 and Wed. 2/27.
2- Print out and fill out the audition form WITH PARENT.
3- Pick an upbeat song. The song you choose should be 16 (or so) bars or measures long. This makes it approximately 30 seconds. I will not be counting beats, but please do not try and sing an entire song, just 16 measures. You may choose any song you are comfortable singing, but I will be looking for a song that has a character and a story. The main thing I am looking for outside of singing ability is someone's ability to act a character while also singing. Choosing a song from a musical is recommended, but do NOT sing a song from Guys and Dolls.
4- You can grab a set of SIDES [short one page scenes from the musical] for the musical. Sides are not expected to be memorized, but you should be familiar with them.
5- We will be having students perform a simple dance choreographed by our choreographer, Ms. Owens. Check out the video of the choreography here. Students will need to review and learn the dance and be ready to perform it. (VIDEO Ready). Here is a simple guide to the steps of our dance for the dance call. Just do your best.
6***- ***This is an optional step*** Come out to the audition preparation meeting- Monday, February 24th from 2:15-4:25 in the Black Box Theatre, (room 120). This is HIGHLY recommended.
7- Audition and do your best! You will be great!
