Auditions
Auditions - Winter/Spring 2024
Everyone is welcome - majors, non-majors, experienced, and new! If you have questions, reach out to Nelson (barre@roanoke.edu)
The Wolves, Sleeping Handsome and Stupid Fucking Bird will audition at the same time on November 27-28 from 7-10pm in the Studio Theatre
You can audition for all three shows during your one audition slot. You will have a space on the audition form to indicate your interest in each production.
No one will be cast in all three productions, because there will be overlap in rehearsal/performance schedules. But you can be in both The Wolves and Sleeping Handsome OR The Wolves and Stupid Fucking Bird.
If you are a Theatre major/minor, you should also memorize a one-minute monologue to perform along with your song. Non-majors/minors will be able to read from a one-minute monologue we provide or one of your choosing. There are monologues appropriate for children (for Sleeping Handsome) and those from 'adult' plays (for The Wolves and Stupid Fucking Bird) on the call board. We would suggest you avoid film monologues.
For reference, the monologues for Sleeping Handsome are Lucy from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and Charlie from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The monologues for The Wolves and Stupid Fucking Bird are Raelynn from John Proctor is the Villain, Dorrie from How to Make Friends and Then Kill Them, Clarissa from Teenage Dick, and Cuddy from Witch. There are copies of these monologues on the call board outside of Olin Theater's backstage.
THE WOLVES
The Wolves will be a staged reading on Saturday, January 27 at 7:30pm. That means scripts in hand for all actors, so there will only be a couple of hours of rehearsal in the week leading up to the performance.
You should prepare a one-minute monologue from an 'adult' play. That could include one that we provide (copies on the call board), or you may select your own.
Please sign up on the callboard or contact director Danielle Barre (dbarre@roanoke.edu) for a ten-minute audition slot.
This staged reading will take place on the Donald J Kerr Stadium soccer field. Tickets are free for this event.
SLEEPING HANDSOME
Sleeping Handsome is a full production of a play for young audiences. We will perform this show both at Roanoke College and local elementary schools as part of a tour.
You should prepare a one-minute monologue appropriate for children. That could include on that we provide (copies on the call board), or you may select your own.
Please sign up on the call board or contact director Danielle Barre (dbarre@roanoke.edu) for a ten-minute audition slot.

Stupid Fucking Bird will be our final production of the year on the mainstage.
