Something familiar, something peculiar – something for everyone: A comedy tonight! Crazy schemes and mistaken identities abound in this side-splitting musical farce. The slave Pseudolus plots to win his freedom by helping his young master Hero win the heart of Philia, a virgin courtesan promised to the renowned warrior Miles Gloriosus. But the plans go awry and Pseudolus is left trying to keep tra
A great big thanks to everyone who attended the callbacks for Forum yesterday. We had a fantastic day and had a lot of hard choices to make at the end of it. You guys really didn't make it easy!!
A great first round of auditions. Thanks to everyone who came out! We have talent a plenty going in to our callbacks. That said, we still have a room for a few more ladies who might want to join us as courtesans. The Courtesans are great featured roles. If you've ever wanted to give burlesque dancing a shot (fully clothed though) these roles are for you. If interested in auditioning but missed the first round we'd be happy to see you on callback day Sunday, February 23rd from 2:50 - 3:50pm. If interested please contact: [email protected] or call 416-781-7160
FAQ: what kind of monologue should I do?
Comedic is best for this show. The director is looking for at your ability to make sense of text and in the case of this show your ability to land a punchline. Your monologue does not have to be specifically geared towards a particular character. Just like your song choice, choose a monologue that you’re comfortable with and can play with.
Hints from the artistic staff: If you're auditioning for a protean seriously consider doing a joke instead of a monologue. There are a lot of one liners in the show and demonstrating that you can deliver a punchline is a definite plus. It's also easier to prep!
Make sure you know it well though. There will be redirects!
