Alrighty. Quick download b/c I've got to get up to watch small fry in less than five hours.
The company: New York Shakespeare Exchange
My monologue: Rosalind from As You Like It "Why, what means this? ... to Fareyouwell."
What I wore: green gorgeous shirt I bought in Madison before I left. New skinny jeans. Super classy shoes that Kelsey lent me. And my hair was invited to be itself and curled magnificently for the occasion.
What happened:
Turned out it was the studio I got my headshots from today! :) Big open room for waiting. Met some folks. YAY!
The actual audition space was roughly the size of my room here in Brooklyn (6X10ft-only the glamorous for me). A table. The Director, Playwright, and Stage Manager.
Did my monologue. They laughed one time out loud collectively. All three of them, I think.
Was asked to wait while they decided what to do with me.
Was handed a side from their original play (absolutely HILARIOUS- creatively mocked all things Shakespeare).
Performed the side after about ten minutes chilling with it. They responded beautifully. Laughs often. At least three solid laughs in about a two minute side (cold read, too)! YAY!
And now:
Wait. Should find out in the next couple of days. Fingers crossed!!!!
And follow up on the new acquaintances.
Party on!
Any questions, feel free to ask!
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting! Isn't it wonderful when auditions go well? You are allowed to relax and have fun. I am so glad that this is what you love.
