Bulrusher Auditions - Ives 119 - 2/23/17

AUDITION FORMAT

Note from Director: “Magic Realism” is defined as what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe. Let that simmer in your response to BULRUSHER.

Please prepare and memorize two monologues.

1. A contemporary monologue (not classical or verse) but meaningful - can be comic, dramatic, or original poetry - minimum 1 minute and less then 2 minutes.

2. A personal story that you create and perform about WATER * wishes or wonder - 1 minute.

3. Do you play an instrument? If so, please BRING with you and be prepared to play something

4. (Optional) Sing a song of your choice a cappella (without accompaniment) - 1 minute.

WATER *
Do remember a moment when WATER affected you in some meaningful way? A waterfall, frozen icee, slide, shower, rain, slip and slide, ocean surfing, drowning in a pool...include sensory details (smells, sounds, sights, textures. etc)

Or do you remember a wish you had - and why did you wish it? Was there a wish you got and it turned out "well","wrong" or "weird"

Do you remember the time you actually were in a state of WONDER with an event, a person, an experience? What are the sensory details - why does it stick with you?

NOTE: If you are cast in Bulrusher, you will NOT be able to be considered for the casts of Man Equals Man (Fall) or You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown (Spring) due to scheduling conflicts.
