The Audition Monologue – for Theatre and Film

 

Tuesday, Sept 5, 12, 19, 26, 6-8pm
Eiben Hall 110, Chaminade University

Cost: $100

Instructor: Lisa Barnes 

 

This course helps you hone monologues that show off your best abilities in the two minutes or less requested for most theatre auditions. Two weeks of the class are dedicated to the theatre monologues, and two weeks are dedicated to the film monologues. Both require truth in your performance, but with different qualities. We work on making the piece your own, while finding different beats to keep it fresh. Please come in with a monologue that suits your character type and is 2 minutes or less.
