AUDITIONS for 6 Impossible Things in January

The AUDITIONS for 6 Impossible Things Before Breakfast will be held

Thursday, January 6th
& Friday January 7th

After school in the auditorium.

Prepare a monologue to perform.  It is best if the monologue is memorized, but you may read from a prompt sheet if necessary.  Be sure to rehearse the monologue by speaking it out-loud and reading through it many times before performing it.

Dress comfortably in loose fitting clothing that will allow you to move easily.  If you have long hair, please have it tied back so that it does not cover your face.

Arrive on time and be prepared to stay until the late-bus.
