Text Box: theatre The Furr High School Theatre department audition consists of the following items.   ALL APPLICANTS Under the leadership of a theatre teacher, the student will take a theatre class with other applicants. The class will include a physical and vocal warm-up followed by improvisational, imagination and team building activities.   During the audition process the student will perform one memorized monologue from a published play. If necessary, the applicant may also be given script to read for further review.   Following the prepared performances, a personal interview may be required.   Since the work is very physical, the applicant should dress in clothing that allows free movement: full length pants that are not tight, T-shirts, shirts or blouses without logos or graphics and close toe, flat shoes. Please, no dresses.   Applicants who sing should be prepared to sing a few bars unaccompanied and spend individual time with a musical director to determine their range and skills.   TIPS  Prepare your monologue CAREFULLY. It should be from a published play, although this is not a requirement. Your work should show that you can perform and feel very differently from one emotion to the other. One may be sad and the other funny.  Remember that we want to see the RANGE of what you can do.    As you perform your piece, you should see the person you are talking to in your imagination. Know who you are talking to and why you are talking to them.    Choose only from plays written within the last 40 years, (no classical, no Shakespeare) and choose a character that you could be cast to play. That person would be close to your age and life experiences.
