Spring Awakening:

The winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, told by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater through what Entertainment Weekly called, "the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade," Spring Awakening explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with a poignancy and passion that is illuminating and unforgettable. The landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and rock and roll that is exhilarating audiences across the nation like no other musical in years.

The Laramie Project: 

The Laramie Project presents a deeply complex portrait of a community's response to the murder of 21-year-old Matthew Shepard, a gay college student in Laramie, Wyoming. In October 1998, Shepard, a student at the University of Wyoming, was kidnapped, tied to a fence on the outskirts of town, brutally beaten, and left to die. His body was not discovered until the following day, and he succumbed to his injuries several days later in a local hospital.

Preparation Requirements:

  • Prepare a song in the style of “Spring Awakening” (indie folk/ alternative/ Broadway pop rock) that highlights your vocal ability with a strong sense of storytelling. Songs should be approximately one minute. 
  • Prepare a dramatic monologue (1:30 minute maximum). The monologue should be memorized and demonstrate a clear character/personality. Be prepared to read from the sides (pages from the script).
  • Please sign up for an audition time here.
