Thank you for your interest in auditioning for the LCHS Theatre Department. On this page, you will find instructions for your audition as well as monologue options.
Advanced Acting auditions:
March 19th from 3:20-5:30
Who should audition?
Anyone interested in being in next year’s Advanced Acting class.
Please note that LCHS offers two Acting classes. Acting class does not require an audition, however, Advanced Acting does. Both acting classes are primarily focused on acting skills and you will be required to read and perform regularly in class.
Advanced Acting requires mandatory out-of-class performances.
Current eighth-graders must be recommended by their Drama teacher to audition for Advanced Acting.
About the audition schedule:
You must sign up for a time slot. Use the "Audition" link below to access the form. You must be signed in to your La Center account.
Auditions will be held on the date listed above only.
It is imperative you are present and ready for your chosen time. It is recommended that students arrive at least five minutes before they are scheduled to audition. Only certain absences will be excused (emergencies, extreme illness, etc. If you are involved in sports you will only be excused from auditions if you have a game or meet.) If you cannot attend the scheduled audition you must contact Ms. Rideout by email to set up an alternate audition time.
About the audition content:
Monologue
All auditionees must perform a monologue that is roughly 90 seconds in length and does not exceed 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, you will be politely cut off so we can stay on schedule. Students are strongly advised to pick one of the provided monologues linked below. You may choose to perform a self-selected monologue as long as it is less than 2 minutes in length and is from a published stage production. Not a movie. If you choose your own monologue you must provide Ms. Rideout with a paper copy at the time of the audition. Monologues must be memorized and should not be ad-libbed or edited, except for length. However, you may substitute specific words if you feel the original text is inappropriate for you. A table and chair will be provided and the auditionees should not use any other props or costumes. All monologues may be performed by any gender.
**Showing the judges a well-thought-out, believable, and interesting character is the most important thing you can do.
Scheduling for classes:
If you are auditioning for Advanced Acting, please be sure to forecast for Advanced Acting as your first choice, and Acting as a backup choice. You will not know the results of your audition before forecasting for next year's classes.
