I'm a freshman auditioning for the school play and I need a monologue, fast!?

Question

I'm going into my freshman year of high school and the school play auditions are on the first day of school which is just in a matter of days. I need a really good two-minute monologue to at least get me into callbacks. The play is Maxwell Anderson's Bad Seed, a story about an eight-year-old serial killer. Thanks!

Answer 2

Do a monologue from a movie and you're sunk.  

First of all, you'll undoubtedly give someone else's performance, as the casting people will recognize.

Secondly, doing movie monologues for a stage audition is inappropriate and will be noted by the director.

Email me the role(s) you're auditioning for and I'll send you some choices.

Answer 3

Hamlet "to be or not to be" quick, easy, and a great piece

Answer 4

Here are my tips as a professional stage manager:

Do Not use a Shakespeare monologue in this case. It's not that impressive.

Do Not use something that literally is just a monologue. Again it's not that impressive.

Do use something that the director will be able to understand and shows your ability to perform in the kind of show you're auditioning for.

Do use something you understand and have either seen or read before.  

Answer 5

do something that you may have heard several time in movies and can easily learn the rest.... for instance i did a romeo and juliet monologue....so you could do that or something from a mid summer night's dream.....you feel me? lol

Answer 6

ophelia's monologue from hamlet

check out 'who's afraid of virginia wolff' by edward albee a copy should be in your local library (movie was with liz taylor and richard burton)

or sam shephard's plays are really funny

'cat on a hot tin roof' by tennesee williams should also be in the library and theres the movie with liz taylor and paul newman

g.luck
