  • Monologues & auditions (Friday)- Students will learn how to perform their best audition including what to look for when picking a monologue or song and how to create the best character. They will also learn how to slate (introducing yourself and your monologue/song). Current students will be partnered with new students to mentor and help them create their best audition. ALL students should bring a short monologue from a play to work on (preferably memorized but not required).

It’s highly preferred (but not mandatory) that you attend all three days as there will be a lot of partner/group work and much of the work from day one may carry over to the following two days. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/9qDMBWzzwscwUzN99

Actor Audition & Techie Interview Prep

  • This is a very beneficial event for both actors and techies, especially if you are new to LuHi theatre. LuHi theatre requires an application and an individual monologue (& song for musicals) as part of the actor audition. Likewise, LuHi theatre requires an application and an in-person interview for our techie audition. During these two days our ITS Board (a.k.a. student Theatre Leadership Team) will work with students to help prepare them to have their best audition and interview.
  • Techies will work with veteran tech crew students on what info looks best on your application, what to expect in the interview and participate in mock interviews while also receiving constructive feedback and advice on how to best showcase their talents through conversation. The best way to prepare is to practice, a lot. It is strongly recommended that all students interested in working tech for LuHi theatre attend this prep, even if you've done tech before.
  • Actors will work with veteran acting students on what info looks best on your application, how to slate, what to expect in auditions and work with them on perfecting their audition monologue through constructive feedback and advice. The best way to prepare is to rehearse your monologue in front of different people, a lot. It is strongly recommended that all students interested in acting for LuHi theatre attend this prep, even if you've acted before. (This prep will dive deeper than what will be touched on in the workshops)
