It's a pre-screening. I have it Saturday as well.

I will also be there on Saturday.

Is it me or are 14 pages of sides that we were told are to be memorized a bit excessive for a "pre-screening"? That's a lot, especially when specifically told to memorize it.

But, we'll see what Saturday is like!

when I went this past saturday, I prepared the 3 scenes, but was only asked to do the first one, and some of the second one.

exactly... that is expected. But, you were asked and did memorize all three, I presume. Correct?

It's just a lot to memorize (in terms of the size of the scenes - in essence, the first is a 3 page monologue). More than I have ever been asked to prepare for a first aud before!

How many people were "behind the table"? Who was there? Thanks

Jay Binder, and a woman I didn't recognize (probably an assistant) and a reader for the other parts were all in the audition room.

Great - thanks.

Now, back to memorizing.

Having never seen this show before and truly knowing nothing about it, how old is the lead role supposed to be? My 14 year old friend tried out for this in February, but I haven't talked to him since...

Eugene is 15.

I auditioned today. It was a lot of fun.
Anyone get called back? Just curious...Did they call you or did they just tell you after your audition?

What material did you audition with?

[PirelisMiracleElixir]

Posted: 3/21/09 at 11:40pm

They gave us three sides ahead of time.
Side one was the baseball monologue through "My mother makes spaghetti with ketchup".
Side two was the girl talk with Stanley.
Side three was Stanley and Eugene's argument.
We only had to do the first two though.

Are they still accepting headshots and resumes to be sent in?

[mtkid08]

Posted: 3/22/09 at 1:03am

I auditioned today too.

I was told we were going to only be doing the first two sides but then they asked me to do the third also...So who knows.

I wasn't told anything about a callback. We will see!

I had a friend who auditioned yesterday and is called back on Monday, that's all the info I know.

Anyone know if they're still accepting headshots?

Any word yet as to who is playing Eugene?

[actormcfamous]

Posted: 4/19/09 at 6:05pm

It's been cast. His name alludes me, but he's a junior/senior in high school who has spent several summers at Stagedoor Manor.
