What to Submit to Audition
Memorize and rehearse the below section of the Chorus' Prologue from Romeo and Juliet.
-Record yourself performing the Prologue. Please wear a black shirt and look 'camera-ready' - whatever that means to you!***
-An example video is posted below***
-NOTE: There may be a large 'filmic' aspect to this production, so this video will help me determine who can handle text, memorization and 'acting on camera!'
-NOTE 2: If no punctuation exists at the end of a line, continue speaking directly into the next line. Only pause between lines if punctuation is present. And "doth" is pronounced "duth" and "piteous" is pronounced "pity-ous."
CHORUS PROLOGUE
Two households, both alike in dignity
(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
