Auditions for the Department of Theatre's plays and musicals
are open to all current students, faculty and staff.
They are held the first week of each semester, and this Fall they
will be on Thursday and Friday, September 3rd and 4th. You'll need
to come to the Theatre callboard (second floor) and sign up for an
audition time. Come early, at the very beginning of the week, as the
slots get taken quickly.
Thursday is for monologues. You have a total of three minutes, we
like to see two contrasting monologues, so keep them short, time them
carefully. If you are new to SDSU, and this is your first time
auditioning you may do just one. Monologues need to be memorized and
prepared: make clear specific choices for the character you are
playing.
Friday morning we will also be seeing monologues. Friday afternoon
are singing auditions for students who wish to be considered for this
semester's musical, INTO THE WOODS. Singing auditions are optional,
but if you want to sing please prepare a short song (32 bars or a
verse and a chorus) from a musical and bring sheet music in the
correct key for the accompanist. No a capella auditions or taped auditions will be
heard.
This semester auditions will be held in the Don Powell Theatre.
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled audition time, check
in with the student stage manager backstage, and fill out the
Audition Form. You do not need a head shot and resume, although if
you have one please bring it with you.
Please print & fill out the audition information sheet and bring to the audition with you.
