The Boards, Sunday - Auditions for the Winter Showcase!

Nov 13, 2011 11:32

Jonothon had managed to get his hands on coffee, this morning. Instant coffee, granted, that he'd thrown together while trying to juggle breakfast (cereal, quick and easy) and getting everything in order for ... whatever the hell these auditions were going to be like, considering the state of the weekend. He hadn't actually gotten around to getting ( Read more... )

Arrive/Mingle! apocalipped November 13 2011, 15:34:32 UTC

Young and old! Students, teachers, townies, whatever! Come in, look around, grab some pizza and (sugar-free) juice!

Please, no pushing, screaming, running with pizza and juice through the theatre seating, wetting yourselves, colouring on the walls with crayon, or biting.

After practicing, Miley could hardly wait to come in to audition! She ran in and darted around the room, meeting people and getting food and being very careful not to spill juice everywhere and only kind of succeeding. This was so exciting!

Juliet was looking longingly at the pizza, but not eating any. She didn't want to get tomato sauce on her tutu dress before her audition; that wouldn't be professional at all.

She took a juice box and sipped it carefully, experimentally dabbing a bit of the red juice around her lips. She was certain it would look just like lipstick when she was done.

Jeremy was eating pizza. So far, he hadn't managed to get any on his vest but it was probably only a matter of time.

He gave Juliet a curious look for the juice. "What're you doing?"

Or set up, if you have props. Or get into costume or something, if you're some kind of super-prepared keener. Or figure out what you're going to actually do up on that stage.

Audition! apocalipped November 13 2011, 15:39:59 UTC

Audition format is easy enough! The Winter Showcase is looking to include examples of all forms of winter traditions, from all cultures, including carolling, dancing, dramatic readings, whatever. If you don't have something prepared to show off, just let the directors know, and they'll give you something to read, or suggest a song to sing!

... Well, Jono would give you something to read. And then hope desperately that you were old enough at the moment to read.

Please, be descriptive with your auditions! The more you give us to work with, the better an idea we'll have as to your character's level of talent!

Miley ran onto the stage with all the eagerness in the world once it was her turn, and gave the audience the biggest smile ever.

"Hi!" she exclaimed brightly. "I'm Miley Stewart! I'm five and I wanna be a rock star, okay?"

Okay, Miley. It was okay.

"Okay! I'm gonna sing. I wrote this song ALL BY MYSELF this morning." Or she was going to forget three-quarters of it and make most of it up now. Details, really.

And she proceeded to do just that, dancing energetically around the stage and singing a song that was even worse than the songs she would go on to write as a teenager. She did have a nice voice, though! And the fact that she had managed to get so much glitter in her hair was probably Very Impressive to the directors. Right?

"Hi!" Juliet said as she bounced onto the stage, tutu dress, punch-stained mouth and all. "I'm Juliet Darling and I wanna be in your show."

She didn't exactly have an audition piece, so she'd stand here and twirl and fluff up her tutu until somebody told her something to do.

Re: Audition! apocalipped November 13 2011, 16:55:10 UTC

"Hello, Juliet," Jono said, smiling faintly and leaning forward a little. Oh, this one was absolutely adorable. "Are you going to be dancing for us today? Or singing, or telling us a story, perhaps?"

So many options to dump onto a tiny child, Jono. But he couldn't assume, just because she was wearing a tutu, that she was going to be performing something from the Nutcracker Suite, really.

Talk to the Directors! apocalipped November 13 2011, 15:40:41 UTC

When they tag in, naturally!

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped November 13 2011, 15:47:32 UTC

Jonothon had staked out a seat front-and-centre, and was clasping his untouched coffee to his chest like a lifeline.

He'd slept on the floor last night, and now was now swearing up and down that small children were never to be given sugar before bedtime again. Never.

Important life lessons with Jono.

Re: Talk to the Directors! its_theclimb November 13 2011, 15:58:42 UTC

"HI!" Miley exclaimed, running over to him and spilling juice EVERYWHERE. "I'm Miley! You look silly! Hi! You liked my audition, right?"

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped November 13 2011, 16:01:30 UTC

"It was very energetic," Jono assured her, smiling tiredly and offering Miley a nod. "And you wrote that song yourself, did you? That's certainly rather impressive."

He was wholly unsurprised.

OOC! apocalipped November 13 2011, 15:43:33 UTC

We totally knew that these were going to be on weetiny weekend! If you're looking to actually audition and you have a small child this weekend, feel free to have your sprog enthusiastically tear up the stage, and then let us know here if you'd like a callback when they're not tiny!

If you don't want them to get a part, but you'd like to play along today, let us know here, too!

We'll have more auditions this Wednesday, and a second attempt at a Sunday audition date next weekend, to make up for the lost day thanks to weetiny shenanigans!

Re: OOC! twintuitionist November 13 2011, 16:51:38 UTC

Juliet will come back when she's bigger for an actual part, though I can't guarantee that her talent level will increase any.

Re: OOC! apocalipped November 13 2011, 17:15:05 UTC

Excellent! Looking forward to it!

Re: OOC! its_theclimb November 13 2011, 17:46:01 UTC

Oh, yes, Miley would also like a callback.

AND SORRY TO JONO'S EARS AND HAND. SHE DOESN'T MEAN TO BE A CRAZY PERSON.
