About ready to cast--one last request

One last request.  
I am still waiting for casting commitment emails.

Again, if I have not heard from you I am going to have to assume that if you are not cast as a major part you would not accept a non speaking role.  

Please let me know soon.   :)   Everyone is waiting on you now....one girl and a handful of boys.

Sunday, December 9, 2012

I need to see the girls again.

Call back folks:   I have yet to receive many of the emails about your cast commitments.  If I haven't heard from you I am assuming you are only interested in a main character.   

 I know you are all hoping this post will be the list.     Well I am half there.    But I do need to see the call back girls tomorrow after school in my room.    
Aaliyah Jenks
Becka Frost
Callie Wilde
Catie Mondon
Emily McCullam
Katie Merkley
Katrina Wood
Kelsee Ivie
Nicole Kearl
Rebecca Jeppsen
Sydney Smith  

You will each perform both monologues.   It shouldn't take more than an hour.   Please wait in the classroom and we will bring you in one at a time.  Please don't panic and attempt to memorize them.  Tips---look up unfamiliar words, check breaths, color code, look for meaning and interpretation.   I am looking for variety and flexibility.   I need to see two different characters.   


Mono 1
Oft have I heard of you, my Lord Biron,
Before I saw you; and the world's large tongue
Proclaims you for a man replete with mocks,
Full of comparisons and wounding flouts,
Which you on all estates will execute
That lie within the mercy of your wit.
To weed this wormwood from your fruitful brain,
And therewithal to win me, if you please,
Without the which I am not to be won,
You shall this twelvemonth term from day to day
Visit the speechless sick and still converse
With groaning wretches; and your task shall be,
With all the fierce endeavor of your wit
To enforce the pained impotent to smile. 



Monologue 2
A time, methinks, too short To make a world-without-end bargain in.
No, no, my lord, your grace is perjured much,
Full of dear guiltiness; and therefore this:
If for my love, as there is no such cause,
You will do aught, this shall you do for me:
Your oath I will not trust; but go with speed
To some forlorn and naked hermitage,
Remote from all the pleasures of the world;
There stay until the twelve celestial signs
Have brought about the annual reckoning.
If this austere insociable life
Change not your offer made in heat of blood;
If frosts and fasts, hard lodging and thin weeds
Nip not the gaudy blossoms of your love,
But that it bear this trial and last love;
Then, at the expiration of the year,
Come challenge me, challenge me by these deserts,
And, by this virgin palm now kissing thine
I will be thine; and till that instant shut
My woeful self up in a mourning house,
Raining the tears of lamentation
For the remembrance of my father's death.
If this thou do deny, let our hands part,
Neither entitled in the other's heart.

Still working on it

News....when will the list be posted?  I am wondering the same thing.  Generally after the last call backs I can put most of the casting pieces together.  This time is tough, so many great actors and moving one piece creates a ripple effect.  Who knew that having tons of talent would make casting so tough.     I am really trying to get a list posted today.

CALL BACKS



Thanks again to everyone who auditioned.    I am was super suprised at the incredible turnout.

This is only the call back list, the final cast list will be posted on Friday.  


Please prepare the following scenes.   You are welcome to use the lexicons and dictionaries in Mrs. Day's room.  

Call backs will be on Thursday.  They will be closed.  ---No friends or family please.  

Please come ready to work and prepared to stay as long as we need to.   This could be quite a long endeavor.      I would also ask that you dress appropriately for an audition, and that ladies do not wear heels.    Also please remember that there are only speaking roles for about half of this list.   I would advise you to learn as much as you can about these characters---it will help you understand each scene and it's situation.

POSTER DESIGN

I am super happy for it!!!!

Auditions

Thanks so everyone who auditioned.  I was thrilled that SO many people are want to be involved.    I also couldn't be happier about your excitement for Shakespeare.    

Needless to say I will not be able to use everyone.   I am working on the call back list and I will post it soon.   Casting is like a huge puzzle!   Now I have a TON of wonderful pieces, I just have to see how they work together to fit my concept for this piece. 

Thanks again. 
Mrs. Day
