REGULAR SCHEDULE:
·
3:30pm to 5:30pm,
three to four days a week from September 27 thru to the first week of Mandatory
Tech/Dress Rehearsals in November. The actual days of rehearsals will be
determined after casting to work around schedule conflicts of those cast.
Not everyone cast will be needed for every rehearsal; who is needed when will be determined by the
demands of the role. There may be some rehearsals scheduled on no-school
days or Saturdays depending on the needs of the rehearsal progress.
·
Rehearsals scheduled on no-school days, as well as any cancellations or
reschedules will be posted on the call board (and the website if possible) if
and when needed. Efforts will be made to notify appropriate cast and crew
members via text message in the event of rehearsal cancellations as well.
Once rehearsal begins on September 26, all schedules for rehearsals, set
construction, production meetings, etc. will be posted on our web site and on
the call board outside the side entrance to the Auditorium at least two weeks in
advance, usually three. Changes,
additions, or revisions to rehearsal and/or production schedules will be
discussed with the appropriate personnel when and if the need arises.

COMMITMENT
·
Anyone cast in this production will be asked to become an active member of the
company within 2 weeks of being cast, if not one already.
To become an active member of Theatre Knights, a $20 dues/donation must
be paid to Mr. Benner or the Company Agent. All dues/donations go toward
production costs.
·
Everyone cast in the show must work an additional 10 hours in an area of
business or production. These areas
include fundraising, publicity, set, properties, etc.
Failure to do so will be taken into consideration for further
participation with the company, and eligibility for ITS points.
·
Think seriously whether or not you are prepared to make the necessary commitment
to this production. At auditions, you will be asked to fill out an audition
form. Pay particular attention to
the section asking for any days/dates/times you know you will be unavailable for
rehearsal. If cast, you will be
expected to be there if the time was not indicated on your audition form.
ANYONE AUDITIONING FOR ROLE IS HIGHLY ADVISED TO MEMORIZE ONE (1) OF THE FOLLOWING MONOLOGUES. If you have a scene committed to memory, you are going to be able to put your best foot forward by presenting your best style and ability and without being handicapped by having to read with a sheet of paper or a book in your hand. It isn’t so important that you give a “correct” performance, as it is that you give an honest and heartfelt one. It is important, also, to know the meanings and pronunciations of words in the monologue. You must chose a gender specific monologue. It is advisable to pick the monologue that you feel will allow you to present yourself in the best light, not because it is the shortest one--often the shortest one is not the best one! Remember, above all, your objective at auditions is to showcase your range and your ability--you want us to remember you--so just do your best.
There are no accents or "down East" dialects in this production, so don't try to do one!
| MONOLOGUE 1 (female). Yeah. Well, anyway, thank you. Thank you for letting me stay. I've had a bad enough time of things lately not to be given a bad time here-- so, yeah. Well, anyway, -- Oh!--uh,... there's, um-- something I think you should know: I'm, uh--, not here for -- for that --. I'm here to pay my respects. To my husband. Yeah: My husband. Wes. I just wanted to say goodbye to him, 'cause he died recently. On Tuesday, actually. And, see, the northern lights -- did you know this? -- the northern lights are really the torches that the recently departed carry with them so they can find their way to heaven, and this is Friday! This is the third day, so, you see, I will see them, the northern lights, because they're him: He'll be carrying one of the torches. And, see, I didn't leave things well with him, so I was just hoping I could come here and say goodbye to him and not be bothered, but what you did there just a second ago, that bothered me, I think, and I'm not here for that, so maybe I should go and find another yard -- and, well -- No, I really -- it's just --... Hi, my name's Glory. |
| MONOLOGUE 2.
(female) I know this isn't going to be very easy, but I was just out there all alone in the world, and I got so scared, because all I could think about was how I had no place in this world, but then I just outta nowhere realized that there was one place in this world that I did have, and that was with you, so I flew and took a taxi to get to you, I just had to come see you, thank God you're --... Oh --... Wait --... I'm sorry. You're not --... I'm --... This is the house --... I'm so sorry --... Does Daniel Harding live here?, I'm looking for Daniel Harding. He lives here. I thought. But ... ooooh ... he doesn't, does he? Oooh. I am so sorry. I'm so embarrassed. "Who is this woman and what is she doing here?" (beat) I just honestly thought he'd be here. I always thought he'd be here. Always. (beat) Do you know him? Big guy, big tall guy. Played basketball, all-Eastern ...? Oh don't even answer that. that was --. I know that's a horrible question to ask a person who lives in a small town, as if everybody in small towns knows everybody else, agh! can't believe I asked that. I don't live here anymore, but when I did, I hated it when people assumed I knew everybody in town just because it was small. It was worse than when they'd ask if we had "... plumbing way up there?," (beat) I'm so sorry to have bothered you. I was just so sure --. I just thought he still lived here. He stayed here, I thought. He was one of the ones who stayed. (beat) I didn't stay. I went away. |
| MONOLOGUE 3. (male) I don't know. Just sometimes ... I don't know why I bother goin' "out." I don't like it, Randy. I hate it. I hate goin' out on these dates. I mean, why do I wanna spend my Friday night with some girl I might maybe like, when I could be spendin' it hangin' out with someone I know I like, like you, you know? I mean ... that was rough tonight. In the middle of Sally tellin' me how she didn't like the way I smelled ... I got real sad, you know, and all I could really think about was how much in this world makes me feel good or makes much sense anymore, and I got really scared, 'cause there's gotta be something that makes you feel good or at least makes sense in this world, or what's the point, right? But then I kinda came out of bein' sad, and actually felt okay, 'cause I realized that there is one thing in this world that makes me feel good and that does make sense, and it's you. ... (long beat) O-kay, then -- I gotta .. I mean, I'll see you later, uh ... actually, busy day tomorrow ... don't know when I'll see you --... uh ... damn. |
| MONOLOGUE 4. (male) "... Dashed his hopes?" Oh, come on. You give yourself too much credit. He was young. That's all you need to get your hopes dashed: Be young. And everybody starts out young, so ... everybody gets their hopes dashed, and besides ... I don't think your really dashed his hopes. 'Cause if you dash somebody's hopes -- well that's ... kind of a nice way to let 'em down, 'cause it hurts ... but it's quick. If you'd have said, "No," that woulda been "dashing his hopes." (beat) But you didn't say, "No." You said nothin'. You just didn't answer him. At all. And that's ... killin' hope the long, slow, painful way, 'cause it's still there just hangin' on, never really goes away. And that's ... kinda like givin' somebody a little less air to breathe every day. Till they die. (long beat) I hope you find it --... your place in the world. I'm sorry it's not here. Anymore. Bye. |
