There's always those little things. They're the quirks that make us love it, hate it. The quirks that make theatre theatre.

"I have an audition next week for Annie Jr., I'm the oldest age group and I would LOVE to get Hannigan, any monologue suggestions? The only ones I can find are overused/not relevant for the show. Thanks. (: ♥"

I hope I’m not too late in answering this! 

I don’t really have anything because I’m horrible at choosing monologues. My dance teacher/ fall show director actually helped me pick five or six monologues I can use in different situations. Maybe you can try doing something like that for future reference?

You can try fuckyeahthespianpeacock. That has an entire page dedicated to monologues which can be found here. There’s a lot of good resources and notes by the mod next to the links. Just don’t use the Star-Spangled Girl because that monologue must be done very, very specifically for it to be enjoyable, at least for me.

Other than that, the best advice I can give you is to pick something you like. If you end up having to use something not completely relevant, act the hell out of it to impress the directors/ whoever is at the audition. If you end up using something ‘overused’, try to put your own twist on it and, again, act the hell out of it. 

I wish you the best of luck at your audition! Hannigan is such a fun role and I’m sure you’ll get it/ do fabulously in it. Good luck! <3

I AM GOING ON A TEMPORARY HIATUS.

Technically I’ve already been on one, I’ve just now gotten the time to post about. I’m sorry.

"Sorry if I sound stupid, but what's with the tape?"

Sorry for all the tape, guys. It’s just an idea some of the techies and I came up with during a build night. It’s more techie related but tape is kind of what holds my theater department together. The series will be over after tomorrow. It may run into Wednesday if I can find more tape. Sorry if it annoys you! But thank you for looking at the blog! <3
